Do you have what it takes to keep Gloucestershire safe?
Safe from gangs and organised crime. Safe from robbery, child abuse and domestic violence. And safe from complex hidden threats like cybercrime and online radicalisation, modern slavery, stalking, online bullying and grooming.
We’re a modern, forward-looking force that rewards initiative, encourages fresh thinking and values diversity. And we’re privileged to have outstanding support from our community – more than 70% of locals recognise that we’re doing a good or excellent job.
At the same time, today’s policing is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. It’s a job that requires great communication skills, sensitivity and resilience. It also requires courage, initiative and a willingness to learn new skills and new ways of thinking.
Is it for you?
Do you have the personality and ambition to help change lives and keep local
communities safe? You’ll need to feel comfortable standing out from the crowd – whether you have your sights on a leadership role or simply want to become an active member of your community representing the law.
Of course it’s a tough job. It means fresh challenges every day and every day you might be dealing with life, death and everything in between. Joining the police in Gloucestershire requires passion and commitment. In return we’ll welcome you, train you and develop you. You’ll have a rewarding career and become part of our outstanding team working to prevent and reduce crime, support colleagues and protect the vulnerable.
Why Gloucestershire?
Our proximity to great cities like Bristol, Bath, Birmingham, Cardiff and Gloucester are a real bonus. But it’s the diversity and experience on offer that has the potential to boost careers and job satisfaction.
Joining the police force is a big decision. As you change lives, it will certainly change you. Are you ready?
