I am sure you will agree that such criteria will be a matter for the individual when he decides which force he wishes to join. Of more fundamental importance, however, is the question of the nationality qualification for membership of a 1964 Act Police Force and for your information this is as

1.

A citizen of the UK.

A citizen of the Irish Republic.

2.

3.

A citizen of the British Commonwealth but only one who has been admitted to the UK without any landing restrictions whatsoever.
