PCSO - Transferee
Applications are invited from current serving PCSOs to join Cleveland Police – if you’re looking for a new challenge in a new area this could be the role for you.Cleveland is the second smallest police force area in the country, covering approximately 231 square miles and with a population of over 585,000 people. It comprises of the four boroughs of Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees. Every town in the region has its own unique identity and personality. Cleveland’s geography is as diverse as the communities that live here. Its landscapes range from dense urban centres to large swathes of rural farmland overlooked by the Cleveland Hills. The area is also lined on its east side by coastal communities facing the North Sea.
Despite its small geographical size, Cleveland Police is one of the busiest police forces in England and Wales and faces significant challenges with high levels of crime and demand for policing services resembling that experienced by much larger metropolitan forces. At Cleveland Police we have a focus on protecting people, protecting communities, tackling criminals and striving to be the best we can be at all we do.
As a PCSO you will spend the majority of your time in the community, providing visible patrols and engaging with local communities and businesses. You will work with the local community and partner agencies to:
- Prevent and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour
- Reduce repeat victimisation
- Reduce harm and fear of crime
- Increase confidence in our force
You will play an active part in making our communities safer through an approach that is focussed on visibility, engagement, problem solving and community resilience. Under the Neighbourhoods Guarantee, the force will have increased patrols in town centres and other hotspots based on local demand and intelligence to tackle key local issues that affect our communities such as anti-social behaviour, shop theft and vandalism.
To be eligible to apply you must be:
· A current serving PCSO at a Home Office force or Police Service of Northern Ireland
· Have fully completed your probationary period
If you are a current serving PCSO and fall outside of these criteria please get in touch via hr.recruitment@cleveland.police.uk to discuss eligibility.
You will retain your previous service and annual leave entitlement on transfer, as long as there is no break in service.
