Find out about becoming a police officer

Like a new challenge? As a police officer every day is different. It’s a career that delivers both personal satisfaction and the opportunity to make a real and visible difference within your community.

If you’d like to find out more, we’ve got an online session explaining all on Monday 23 May from 7-8.30pm.

You’ll meet serving police officers and find out about our new and exciting apprenticeship or degree holder routes into policing, the application process and the training. 

Policing is a 24/7 service, and you’ll work a range of shifts, including nights, as we cover 365 days a year. You may not always be at home for Christmas or birthdays, but what you will get is the satisfaction of working in a job like no other.

You’ll be highly trained and well supported as you help countless people through some of the most difficult situations they have ever faced, supporting victims and witnesses and providing reassurance.
