I heard yesterday that the Met expects all new entrants to the force to do 18 months as volunteers and pay for part of their training. If this rolls out UK-wide what would policing be like?

Having worked with Police forces, I can tell you that there is a LOT of excess manpower, both uniformed and civilian, that spends its time trying to justify their existence.... and upsetting the ones with real roles in the process.
