It might be possible for your daughter to join the police after passing her A'Levels. However, the recruitment process is likely to be quite competitive. At this time in her life, what does she have to offer, other than an enthusiasm for the role?
They would likely look more favourably on an application in a few years' time, when she has some life experience to offer. Moving to a different country and meeting a wide range of people, making new friends, dealing with some difficult situations, encountering and resolving problems, proving herself to be resourceful and problem-solving in a new environment and so on.
She will gain so much more life experience and acquire so many useful skills by spending some time in a different country.
Maybe she could contact the recruitment office for the force she's interested in joining and ask them their opinion? I'm guessing they would look favourably on a young candidate who could demonstrate their maturity by dealing with this situation in an adult fashion and resolving to make the most of such a fantastic opportunity.
Education generally and her friends:
Does the school she is attending have a sixth form? Or will she have to go to a different college if she stays in UK? At that age, after GCSEs, all her friends will be taking different paths, some might leave school, some will also go on to college, but they will likely be doing different courses and make new friends and the group dynamics will change.
It's difficult because she probably has a close-knit group of friends, and she isn't yet aware how things change. Over the next few years, the friends that she has now will likely start to drift apart. They will all make new friends at college, after college, they will go to university in different cities and make new friends, and they will make new friends in their new jobs. That doesn't mean 'ditching' old friends, just that it's possible to make lots of new ones.
If she's kind of yearning for things to remain the same, if she stays there, she'll have a bit of a come-down, as she tries to hold on to the situation as it is now, hold on to her routines and groups of friends exactly as they are now. But all her friends will also be moving on to exciting new things too; things won't stay the same for her or her group of friends.
It's just that she has such an amazing opportunity to move on to do something even more exciting and interesting.
Living in Qatar:
And if the above reasonable points fail to persuade, you could always point out that her friends can always come and visit and lounge by her pool!
Even if she doesn't want to go, then her friends will do the persuading for you! ;)
