Abstract: Abstract Alongside the day-to-day experiences in the working lives of police officers, another aspect of the ‘reality’ of police work is the relative way in which careers develop for women and men officers. In the police service, the patterns of career development are an inevitable function of the ‘one point of entry’ philosophy discussed in relation to recruitment. As we have seen, not only does this aim to recruit individuals who are capable of attaining chief officer rank, there is a need for select people who will remain at the ‘sharp end’ of policing for all of their career. For these people patterns of career development will reflect different personal requirements, such as job enrichment and enhancement, whereas for the relatively few officers who do want and achieve promotion, career patterns will have a different emphasis.
