Bring Your Specialist Roads Policing Skills to Wiltshire Police
We're looking for experienced and highly skilled Roads Policing Officers to join our Roads Policing Unit within Specialist Operations.
If you have experience in roads policing and hold an Advanced Driving qualification, this is an opportunity to bring your expertise to a proactive and highly capable team committed to preventing harm, tackling crime, and keeping Wiltshire's roads safe.
Whether you're seeking new challenges, broader operational experience, or opportunities to further develop your specialist capabilities, you'll join a force that values professionalism, operational excellence and the vital role roads policing plays in protecting communities.
A Transfer Process Built Around You
Transferring to a new force is a significant decision. It's not just about your next role, it's about finding the right place to continue your policing career.
From the moment you apply, we'll take the time to get to know you, your experience, your interests, and what you're looking for from the next stage of your career. We'll have an open conversation about the opportunities available and work with you to find a role that matches your skills, ambitions and aspirations.
We no longer recruit transferees into set intakes or fixed induction dates. Instead, we take a personalised approach, working with you individually to identify the right opportunity and agree a start date that works for both you and the force.
Throughout the process, you'll receive support, regular communication, and a dedicated team committed to making your move to Wiltshire Police as smooth as possible.
