Fourteen new trainee Detective Constables will help tackle local crime 

Fourteen new trainee Detective Constables have joined Humberside Police on their mission to tackle local crime. 

Earlier in the week Humberside Police recruited 14 new trainee Detective Constables after they successfully completed their initial academy training via Police Now’s National Detective Programme. 

The new recruits began their training in March as 170 officers were attested at Police Now’s detective academy. 

According to the force, the 14-week-long Academy equipped participants with the basic knowledge and skills required in modern investigative work, including managing crime scenes, making arrests, handling complex investigations, and first aid and officer safety training. 

“Participants also sat their National Investigators’ Exam and completed field training shifts in Humberside Police’s Response and Criminal Investigation Departments,” Humberside Police added. 

Trainee Detective Constable Addison Lloyd, who joins Humberside Police today (Monday 27 June) via the programme, said:  

“The Police Now academy experience has been incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. We have all learnt invaluable skills and knowledge that we hope to bring back to Humberside. I personally am very excited to get out in the force area to meet residents and colleagues alike and get fully involved in serving our communities.  

“It is an interesting time to become involved in policing with plenty of challenges ahead. Police Now has given us a good grounding in the principles of policing which we will build upon in force. We’re all very enthusiastic and looking forward to working in Humberside.” 

It is understood that the 14 new recruits will now continue Police Now’s two-year National Detective Programme within the respective force whilst being supported by Police Now coaches and fellow colleagues to help eradicate crime across Humberside. 

“They will also work towards their Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice in partnership with the University of Huddersfield,” the force continued.

Sergeant James McKellar-Main, the operational lead for Police Now said: “It has been a pleasure working with fourteen very enthusiastic participants throughout the academy, and we have seen them all develop their detective skills as the weeks have gone on.  

“They have experienced shifts within Humberside Police, and we have had glowing reports back from supervisors in force. We look forward to them landing in force today following their training and seeing how they develop over the two-year programme. We have been affiliated to Police Now for five years and have seen a number of highly committed and driven officers arrive and develop in the force.” 

Well done to everybody!
