For as long as I can remember I have wanted to join the police, and I am seriously thinking of doing it next time my local force is recruiting. One thing is worrying me - will being in an IVA prevent me from joining? I know that you cannot be bankrupt if you are a police officer, but I don't know about an IVA.

Thanks in advance for your help x

I checked with a friend (serving officer) and apparently it depends on the individual force and the overall application.

Would be worth speaking to the recruitment officer for the force you were thinking of joining.

Thanks for that Storm. I'll look into it a bit more and see what they say.

One other question (sorry!), if the IVA does go against me, would I be able to join the police after the IVA was finished?

This was from my local force recruitment site:

Financial status

Applicants will have their financial status checked.

These checks are carried out because police officers have access to privileged information, which may make them vulnerable to corruption.

Applicants with outstanding County Court judgements, who have been registered bankrupt with outstanding debts, will be rejected. If you have discharged bankruptcy debts then you will need to provide a Certificate of Satisfaction with your application.

The majority of Police Forces will allow applicants whom are in an IVA. You will be credit scored during the application so it is best to be up front about your IVA from the onset.
