Opportunities for Military Personnel
From Military Service to Policing – Your Next Mission Starts Here
Have you recently left the Armed Forces, are planning to transition out, or serve as a reservist? If so, West Midlands Police wants to hear from you!
We value the discipline, leadership, and problem-solving skills you’ve developed in service, and we’ve made it easier than ever for Military Service Leavers (including reservists) to start a rewarding career in policing.
This is not a direct police officer application. It’s an Expression of Interest for our Talent Management Scheme. Once you register, our team will contact you to explore the opportunities available and guide you on the next steps.
Your policing career could take you anywhere: From Firearms to Dogs, Complex Investigations to Roads Policing, and countless other specialist teams. You’ll have the freedom to shape your future once you’ve completed your probation. Promotion and progression are there for the taking.
