Transferee Authorised Firearms Constables

Do you have the passion and desire to keep people safe from harm? Are you looking for a role that will help support the communities of Gloucestershire by adding value to the service we provide to the public? If so please consider transferring to Gloucestershire Constabulary.

Gloucestershire Constabulary is currently seeking qualified Authorised Firearms Officers (AFO).

Within Gloucestershire, the current opportunities are within our Royal Household Protection Group (RHPG) who provide 24/7 armed support (both in static and mobile formats) to the Royal Houses within Gloucestershire or within our Armed Response Unit team. As vacancies arise officers will have the opportunity should they wish to transfer to the County ARV teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity for both newly qualified and experienced AFOs alike to be part of a specialist team of officers and staff who carry out a critically important operational role.

To undertake this role you must be fully operationally deployable, a licensed AFO (trained to ARV standard) and able to work the entire range of shifts over the required pattern.

A relocation allowance will be available for successful applicants for this post who meet the criteria.

We are able to offer a diverse range of opportunities within the county, both rural and urban. We are a dynamic forward thinking force who put the public at the heart of everything we do. We strive to inspire trust, confidence and pride within our workforce to enable them to deliver the best possible service to our communities.

We are keen to hear from experienced officers who will add value to our organisation and support its values and intent.

We want our Constabulary to be representative of the area we work in, so welcome applicants from all under-represented groups, in particular those from black and ethnic minority communities and females.

We need people from diverse backgrounds with skills and experiences to help us deliver excellence in local policing throughout Gloucestershire.

Officers serving with the Ministry of Defence or another non Home Office Forces such as Royal Parks, Civil Nuclear Constabulary, Ports of Dover, Liverpool and Bristol which are not classed as police forces under the Police Act 1996, are unfortunately not eligible to apply to transfer.
