I was wondering if an individual needs to remain in the army after training, or can they go into policing afterwards?

I have been thinking about joining the police force for some time, however i would like to experience army life to see if it would be something that would be something that would interest and challenge me.

Hello. Thank you for your question.
Initially when you join the Army, you sign a contract for 12 years service but you can leave after 4 years. You could join the Army as Royal Military Police (RMP) to gain military experience and also gain police experience so you can do both? For more information on the role, please visit the following URL https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/adjutant-generals-corps/royal-military-police-soldier
