Helinut is correct. Most police units require 500 hr's twin as well as the requirements Mightygem laid down. These are based on recommendations from the Home Office. Units can set their own less rigid criteria, this is unlikely however because should an incident occur involving a less experienced pilot, someone will have to take the rap for going against HO recommendations. The consequence of this is that most pilots coming into Police work in the UK are ex-mil, because of course, they haven't had to pay for all those hours with their hard earned beer coupons. (just blood, sweat, tears, duties, hair, bulls**t, yadder,...,yadder).
