Thames Valley Police now accepts applicants with automatic-only UK driving licences, aligning with modern vehicle fleets and trends.
Thames Valley Police has updated its recruitment policy to accept applicants with a full UK automatic-only driving licence, effective immediately.
The change, applicable to police and detective constables and transferring officers, reflects that over 80% of frontline response vehicles are now automatic.
The move aligns with national trends, including the UK’s 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales and the 2035 requirement for all new vehicles to be zero-emission.
It also responds to a rise in automatic driving tests, which have grown from 6% in 2012/13 to about 25% last year.
The policy aims to broaden access to policing careers while matching modern fleet technology and driving habits.
