Do you have the passion and desire to keep people safe from harm? Are you looking for a role that will help support the communities of Wiltshire by adding value to the service we provide to the public?
Wiltshire Police are currently seeking qualified Authorised Firearms Officers (AFO).
This is a fantastic opportunity for both newly qualified and experienced AFOs to be part of a specialist team of officers and staff who carry out a critically important operational role.
To undertake this role you must be fully operationally deployable, a licensed AFO (trained to ARV standard) and able to work the entire range of shifts over the required pattern.
Successful external applicants will be supported with a relocation package of up to the £8,000 HMRC tax free level on relocation costs, which meet the exemption criteria, including travel.

The transfer process involves an application, interview, medical questionnaire and vetting. Once you have completed this process and accepted our offer, we will contact your existing force for information including pension, salary, service, training and unpaid leave.
When you are ready to apply, please download and complete the application form and return it to [email protected].
Once you have submitted the application form, you will not need to supply any supporting documentation or divulge your proposed transfer to your force until after your successful interview.
The process takes around four to six months from when we receive your application.
Postings are determined taking into account both individual preferences and the resourcing needs of the organisation. Whilst every effort will be made to meet individual preferences this, regrettably, cannot always be guaranteed. There will be an opportunity to discuss posting preferences in detail at the interview stage of your application.
All postings will require the individual to serve at least two years in that role unless organisational demands dictate otherwise or officers are successful with a promotion application.
