Job description

What could you be with a degree?

The job of being a police officer is an extremely challenging and rewarding career and no two days are ever the same.

On any given shift you could be responding to an emergency call, carrying out a search warrant, arresting a drug dealer or being a reassuring face to a victim of domestic abuse. On your next shift you could be patrolling in the local community, helping vulnerable people, interviewing a suspect in custody, or giving evidence in court.

Policing is not purely about enforcement, your communication skills and ability to build relationships with the public will be key.

You’ll need determination, patience, and the ability to champion those around you.

Policing is one career, with countless opportunities. You can progress through the ranks or specialise in an area that interests you. You could become a detective, join our firearms or roads policing units or one of our public protection teams.

Wherever you decide to take your career, we will support you and help you develop to be the best officer you can be.

You’ll receive training and support throughout your career to help you manage the demands of policing, but it’s important to be sure that becoming a police officer is right for you.
