Police Officers are able to apply to join the Specialist Protection Group through an application process. Applications are reviewed by SPG Command and officers are vetted. Officers who have previously been guests on SPG patrols and have impressed have a higher chance of having their application accepted. Once an officer has had his application accepted he is subject to a basic training. Having passed their basic training officers go on to become Trainee Protection Officers (TPOs).

TPOs are required to patrol for a minimum of 5 hours before they are then allowed to take their Field Assessment (FA). The 5 hour minimum may depend on their performance on patrol observed by seniors. Once being eligible for the Field Assessment, the officer is subject to an assessed normal patrol where they must fulfill 10 specific criteria.
