Wiltshire Police are not currently recruiting for Police Officers

Applications are invited from everyone, particularly people from minority ethnic communities, as they are presently under-represented within Wiltshire Police. We value the principles and practices of equality in both the policing services we deliver to the people of Wiltshire, and the way that we recruit, develop, train and employ our staff.

What does a Police Officer do?

Police officers work closely with the community and undertake a variety of activities which relate to the prevention and detection of crime and the prosecution of offenders against the peace.

What are the key tasks?

  • To liaise with external agencies/departments and members of the community to develop better working practices and improve the safety of the local community.
  • To respond to calls for assistance from the public, record and investigate crime and non crime issues and participate in the long term resolution of community problems.
  • To undertake mobile and foot patrol, seeking to reassure the public and proactively work towards the prevention and detection of offences.
  • To attend and investigate traffic collisions, working with other agencies to improve road safety.
  • To interview suspects, witnesses and victims, establishing facts and compiling case files for prosecution and other further action.
  • To arrest and detain suspected persons, gathering evidence to enable the fair and just prosecution of offenders.

What skills do you need?

You need honesty, integrity, determination and flexibility. You must be physically fit, have strong communication skills and the ability to apply practical solutions to real life situations.

You need a permanent right to residency in this Country with a full driving licence.

There is no height restriction but you should have a good standard of health and eyesight.

What are the salary and benefits?

A competitive training and remuneration package commencing at £21,009 rising to £23,454 after 31 weeks initial training and then to £24,813 after 2 years.
