I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request. Below is your request and our response.
I would like to know about the entry programmes currently being offered by your police force for recruits and the number of recruits attracted to these programmes.

Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) - 0
Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) - 13

Please note for information: We no longer offer the Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP) entry route so not mentioned in Q1, however have had 105 recruits through this route in the time requested.
The Cleveland Police response to your request is unique and it should be noted that Police Forces do not use generic systems or identical procedures to capture and record data therefore responses from Cleveland Police should not be used as a comparison with any other force response you receive.
If you are not satisfied with this response or any actions taken in dealing with your request, you have the right to request an independent internal review of your case under our review procedure. The Freedom of Information Code of Practice (see below link) states that a request for internal review should be made within 20 working days of the date on this response or 40 working days if extenuating circumstances to account for the delay can be evidenced. Public authorities are not obliged to accept internal reviews after this date.
