Professional Profiles
Policing Professional Profiles (PPP) define the expectations and accountabilities of all for police officers and police specific staff roles. They articulate the skills and professional standards, competencies and behaviours for policing on a national basis.
PPP are designed to help:
- Individual post holders to understand what they are accountable for, and to know the essential skills, experience and qualifications for any role so that they can explore potential progression, development and educational opportunities.
- Line managers to objectively review an individual’s performance and inform their personal development plans
- HR managers to inform the job evaluation, recruitment, deployment and promotion processes at force level.
- Learning and development managers to identify training needs and to provide effective CPD and development opportunities.
Please note the profiles on this site contain the Competency and Values Framework (CVF) 2016 and will be removed when this expires in May 2025. The most recent versions of the professional profiles, including the CVF 2024 and Core Skills, together with any new profiles developed in 2024 and guidance on using profiles, are currently held in CollegeLearn, pending the development of their new home on the College website. Please note that you will be required to register with CollegeLearn if you have not already done so. During the transition between CollegeLearn and the College website a profile may be in either location.
