Police Officer recruitment

Do you have what it takes to keep Gloucestershire safe?

Do you have the personality and ambition to help change lives and keep local communities safe?

Safe from the muggers, the gangs and organised crime. Safe from robbery, child abuse and domestic violence. And safe from complex hidden threats like cybercrime and online radicalisation, modern slavery, stalking, online bullying and grooming.

It’s a tough job. It means fresh challenges every day and every day you might be dealing with life, death and everything in between.

Today’s policing is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. It’s a job that requires great communication skills, sensitivity and resilience. It also requires courage, initiative and a willingness to learn new skills and new ways of thinking.

Joining the police in Gloucestershire requires passion and commitment. In return we’ll welcome you, train you and develop you. By becoming a Police Officer, you will:

Have a rewarding job where no two days are the same

Be constantly challenged and always learning

Be valued for your contribution to your community

Be well paid and have an excellent benefits package

Have continual opportunities for advancement
