The OCR Level 3 Diploma in Policing has been designed for the uniformed officer during the initial period of service. Student Officers will have the opportunity to work towards it during the probationary period and knowledge aspects of the assessment will often be completed during their classroom phase. It covers basic policing duties but more experienced officers may also find it useful as a focus for development activity and the opportunity to demonstrate personal competence in the basic duty arena.
