Police officer recruitment
Talent Bank now open
Register on our 2023 Talent Bank if you are interested in applying to become a Police Officer and we will be in touch when we open again in autumn 2022
Make a difference in your community
A police officer's job is to reduce crime and the fear of crime. Working as part of a close knit team, you will serve and protect our diverse communities across Wiltshire and Swindon.
- Deal with different situations every day, building confidence and trust with the public.
- It's demanding, unpredictable, but rewarding work and you can make a real difference to your community.
- You will support victims and witnesses and give reassurance to victims of crime and anti-social behaviour.
- People look to you for guidance and protection from such experiences, so you will need to see things from their perspective, tailoring your approach to address their needs and fears.
- You will thrive on challenges and work hard to learn the skills needed for this difficult, critical public service role.
Taking Positive Action
We welcome everyone from our diverse communities across Wiltshire and Swindon. We want to reflect the communities we serve, and particularly encourage women and people from ethnic minorities to apply to become police officers, as we are under represented in our workforce. You will be supported through the application process by our Positive Action Team - contact them at [email protected]
