202512 - Rejoiner Officers
Overview
The Met is working hard to restore Londoners’ trust and confidence. We aim to establish more trust, reduce crime, and maintain high standards. You can come and join the thousands of dedicated, honest, committed and hard-working officers and staff in our team.
Change is happening within the Met. We want people like you to join and to help make a big difference.
The Met’s Rejoiners pathway is designed to support ex-officers, with valuable skills and experience, who have resigned from service within the last 5 years and wish to return to policing.
The pathway allows for experienced police officers from Home Office police services to join or re-join the Met.
The opportunity:
We are interested in receiving applications from previous experienced officers who have left their role as an officer and would like to return to a career in policing by rejoining the Metropolitan Police Service.
The size, diversity and importance of our organisation means that we have a huge range of potential career paths that span different areas of policing and a variety of specialisms.
Please note, that whilst attempts will be made to accommodate any preferences stated within your application, this cannot be guaranteed.
