When will the police be recruiting?

Anyone know when the police will be recruiting again?

    pretty broad question to answer - recruitment varies from each distinct region.

  • Anyone know when the police will be recruiting again?

    Which is the Police force you wish to join?

    Is it territorial or one of the non territorial ones?

    Have you looked on their website that would be your best option!
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.
  • hothothot...thanks but ive been checking that page for the last month or so and none of the forces are taking on at the minute,was hoping someone would have some inside knowledge.
    bordersdude.....i dont mind which force i join,ive no ties holding me down anywhere,and of course ive checked there site but no mention of when they will recruiting again.
    bruceybonus.....oops sorry!hopefully they will let me change it!

    The police recruit Special Constables on a regular basis - there is a new campaign each month.

    Just keep an eye on their website, that might help you get in.

    How do you find out about the roles with the police in the none officer positions (you know, like traffic wardens, dispatchers and so on)?
    Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.
  • cheers shikoku,ill check it out.Specials are voluntary i think but it will give me an idea what its like to be a regular police officer

  • Ariarnia....i think you have to contact your local force for vacancies.If you use the link on hothothots post at the top of the page then click on other roles,then contact force it gives you there number,address and recruitment site

    Start as a PCSO and go into it that way.

    I was talking to our local PCSO yesterday - she's desperate to be a real PC but says that none of the forces round our way are recruiting at the moment. (Midlands).
