Training
and qualifications
Persons
seeking to be recruited into the police force, as ordinary
service personnel must be between 21 and 30 years old,
have Norwegian citizenship, and are of good health, character
and standing. They must also have completed a 3-year training
course run by the National Police Academy (Politihogskolen)
in Oslo. This training course involves 1 year of studies
at the academy, followed by 1 year of practical training
at police stations, and then a year of further study back
at the academy. At present, there are no compulsory postgraduate
courses for service personnel, although such courses have
existed in the past. Those seeking to be recruited to
the upper echelons of the police force, such as the rank
of superintendent, must have completed a university degree
in law.
