They come from all walks of life and have taken a leap of faith to change careers and try to become police officers.

But with police forces busier than ever and public confidence at an all-time low, it鈥檚 never been tougher to be a cop. After six months in the classroom, they鈥檙e hitting the streets under the watchful eye of their tutors.

They have just 12 weeks to prove they have what it takes.
