With a national shortage of detectives within the police service, there are significant issues with resilience and maintenance of the current cohort. Police investigators study in-force qualifications with regards to investigation, namely the Professionalising Investigation Programme (PIP).

The PIP level 1 and 2 qualifications and the underpinning work-based learning that was a requirement alongside these PIP awards have been mapped to levels 4 and 5 of the BSc. Students who are currently PIP2 accredited would undertake an RPCL process and then enter the final year (level 6) to achieve the BSc Professional Investigation.
