Police Officers Face Dismissal Without Work Licence
UK police must hold a licence or risk being fired – a new Home Office overhaul announced on 24 Jan 2026.
On 24 Jan 2026, the Home Office announced that all police officers in England and Wales must obtain a "Licence to Practise" and renew it throughout their career. The reform, slated for implementation in phases, aims to improve skills in tackling violence against women and neighbourhood policing. Officers who fail to meet the standard after repeated attempts will be dismissed. Crime and policing minister Sarah Jones warned that the licence will keep officers "match fit" as crime evolves. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is expected to unveil the full plans on Monday, 26 Jan 2026, marking the biggest policing shake‑up in decades.
