The Met plans to shift recruitment away from Hendon policing school and take new entrants directly from special constables who train on the job. At present, new recruits undergo 25 weeks of instruction. But volunteer specials, who spend a minimum of 300 hours a year on patrol, currently get 23 days' basic training.
Under the new scheme they would have to take a course in policing and the law as well as in patrol work.
