The direct entry programme offers civilians a route into policing which avoids them working their way up the ranks from constable level.

It is for professionals with proven leadership skills in a non-policing background.

The College of Policing scheme is being rolled out by a number of forces across the country, including South Yorkshire.

Successful recruits will start on a £48,000-a-year salary.
