4. Values based interviewing is part of the police recruitment process. College of Policing guidance for post assessment in-person interviews contains a pool of questions that is competency and values focussed. All 43 forces complete an in-person interview with candidates and 37 forces currently use the College standard pool of questions. Work is ongoing by the College with the remaining six forces to adopt this question set. 5. Additionally, the Online Assessment Process (OAP), which was designed and is owned by the College of Policing, tests applicants against competencies and values. This is used by all 43 forces. 6. The College is working to put the end-to-end recruitment standard into regulations by summer 2024. This will ensure that all forces utilise the same standard, set by the College, and ensure consistency for candidates as well as supporting confidence in the recruitment process for the public.
