Veterans transitioning into a policing career supported with a one-off resettlement payment

Military Veterans transitioning into a policing career with Thames Valley Police will be supported with a one-off resettlement payment of £2,500.

Thames Valley Police proud to offer military resettlement.

Veterans bring a wealth of transferrable skills and experience that are important in policing, such as discipline, mental resilience, physical robustness, and motivation as well as the perseverance to keep going through difficult situations. These values are important to the overall culture of policing and means that employing veterans helps us bring new officers into our force that are pre-prepared for the work they will do to keep our communities safe.

Military Veterans transitioning into a policing career with TVP will be supported with a one-off resettlement payment of £2,500 paid in to your first month’s pay. To be eligible for this payment you must be:

• Commencing a policing career with TVP via one of our new recruit police officer entry routes,
• Embarking upon your first post-military employment,
• Prepared to reimburse the full amount should you choose to leave during your probation period.
