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.

If quality of life is what you value, then Hertfordshire is the place to come.
So, if you are a serving substantive Sergeant or detective Sergeants 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.
