Onboarding | How Police Now onboarded over 600 graduates during a pandemic

Imagine it’s March 2020. You have over 600 outstanding graduates ready to join you at your academy. There, they’ll begin their training to become police officers, before joining 17 separate police forces across England and Wales to continue their graduate programme. But first, you’ll be running a face-to-face, three-day induction event for all of them in April. Then the COVID-19 pandemic begins to take hold. What next?

This was the challenge facing Police Now earlier this year. But, thanks to some bold decisions, innovative ideas, and some very versatile onboarding technology, they’ve made their welcome to 2020’s graduates more successful than ever.
