  • Served for at least 24 months on one or more recognized police forces
  • Worked the equivalent of two full years, i.e., 3,276 regular hours

IMPORTANT: If the external police officer has served for more than 24 months on another police force, but has worked less than 3,276 hours, they will not benefit from recognition of their experience.
