Syndicate Leads and Stream Managers are seconded operational Sergeants and Inspectors from our partner police forces and come with the participants to help them learn the basics of being a detective or neighbourhood police officer. They bring the expertise of being an operational police officer and share their lived experience of the role – Syndicate Leads may well be from the force participants land in, so you will be a friendly face throughout the two-year programme.

The importance of Syndicate Leads
“My Syndicate Lead has massively helped my development and pushed me further as an officer and as an individual by encouraging me to take part in activities which I would normally sit back in. My Syndicate Lead has been so impactful when it came to asking questions and answering them, I felt very comfortable approaching them about anything and everything as they have built a good rapport with us. They were the highlight of the academy and have inspired me at such an early stage of my career.”

“My Syndicate Lead had a massive impact on me personally and I believe all of our syndicate. He was there at all sorts of times to help us with anything we needed and ensured he got an answer. His direct approach was perfect for the academy as we always knew if we had done something wrong and how to adjust this using the feedback he gave us. I hope the next cohort are lucky enough to have him back as a Syndicate Lead as he has developed us loads”
