On Friday 16th August 2024, 115 recruits undertook their passing out parade at Police Scotland HQ, Tulliallan, having completed their 13-week probationer course.

Chief Constable Farrell thanked all of the officers for choosing a career dedicated to public service and protecting communities from harm.

She said: “Policing is not simply what we do, it’s who we are. Despite the demands it places upon us at times, it is extremely rewarding and I’m confident that all of our new recruits will continue to answer that call, while at the same time reflecting Police Scotland’s values of integrity, fairness, respect and a commitment to uphold human rights.

“Each of our new recruits will now deploy into Scotland’s communities, where they will support the efforts of their colleagues in keeping the public safe and bringing offenders to justice.”
