    I think this is the most appropriate thread to ask these questions in so hopefully someone can answer.

    Since joining how has car insurance price been? I'd imagine it would increase as riskier job.

    What title do you select for the insurance job title? Technically civil servant would suffice and probably be cheaper than officer/constable.

    Is any insurance offered in house?

    I've seen ones mention that first few years will be response unit only. What does that include exactly? E.g. restriction to passenger in jeep or can it also be in the marked cars and what sort of driving responsibility would be included for first few years?

    Firstly, never declare on any application that you are a Police officer. The only time you are legally bound to disclose this is on a mortgage application. For anything else select civil servant. It should bear no effect on your insurance premium.

    There are several companies who specialise in police insurance, one of which is available through the Police Federation. If you're under 25 you'll have to speak with them direct but otherwise you can get a quote online from them.

    Your first 2-3 years are done in response, now known as LPT (local policing team). You'll be responding to 101 and 999 calls and can go to anything from a shop lifter, domestic, assaults and even murders. Depending on which station you end up in will depend on what type of vehicles you drive in, for security reasons some stations only use armoured vehicles. During this time you'll get your driver training and you'll get your own fair share of driver turns
