University of Brighton

The first student police officers in Sussex to receive their initial training from the University of Brighton graduated on 25 January at a ceremony in Worthing Assembly Halls. More than 50 police officers were awarded with a foundation certificate in police studies from Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Julian Crampton and Chief Constable of Sussex Police, Joe Edwards.

Sussex Police is one of the first police forces in the country to work with a university to deliver its police probationer training in order to meet the challenges of policing in the twenty-first century.
