Below you'll find information about our current opportunities for experienced professionals, those new to policing and civilian staff.

New Recruits

Our New Recruit entry route is for people with no previous policing experience, including those currently serving or who have served in the military. Whether you're starting your policing career or transitioning from military service, we'll support you every step of the way.

New Entrants from Other Forces

Our New Entrant From Other Forces (NEOF) entry route is for serving or former officers from Home Office, British Transport Police, Civil Nuclear Constabulary, Police Service of Northern Ireland and Police Scotland forces. This streamlined transfer process recognises your existing skills and experience with current vacancies providing you the opportunity to apply your policing expertise in a specialist Defence environment.
