Inspector Transferee Process

In Hertfordshire Constabulary you will be more than a number. We are a family-friendly force which takes pride in developing talented people. By virtue of our size, everyone who transfers into Hertfordshire has a much better chance of enjoying a diverse career, training and promotion opportunities.

We pride ourselves in recognising and rewarding motivated people and will support you throughout your professional journey with us.

We are currently recruiting for substantive inspectors and detective inspectors on a lateral transfer. We anticipate there will be several vacancies across the constabulary over the next 12-18 months.

In addition to your salary, we also offer a regional allowance of £3,000 a year.

Hertfordshire officers also benefit from free rail travel, simply by showing your valid warrant card on Govia Thameslink and Great Northern routes as well as TFL Underground trains. Full details on the Herts Police Federation website.

Each transferee and re-joiner will have one-to-one contact with our Attraction and Retention Sergeant throughout the process who will manage your recruitment and deliver your onboarding programme.

The transfer process involves an application, in person interview, medical, eyesight test, fitness test and vetting.

Hertfordshire is part of a tri-force alliance (with Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire), as well as the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU), both of which offer specialist opportunities within operations and investigations.

Bordering London, you will experience the professional challenge of investigating complex crime and dealing with serious community issues without spending endless hours on a train or stuck in traffic on motorways commuting to work. If quality of life is what you value, then Hertfordshire is the place to come.

So, if you are a serving substantive inspector or detective inspector looking for an opportunity to develop your skills then do consider serving in a county force where your voice will be heard, and your professional contribution always appreciated.
