Description

Salary:

The starting salary for all new recruits is £31,551 (which includes £3,000 South-East allowance) from day 1 of training.

What is the job?
Policing is a challenging, yet rewarding career, allowing us to serve the public 24/7, 365 days a year. It offers opportunities for progression and specialisation, plus unrivalled camaraderie and team spirit. It's about protecting the vulnerable when they need you most.

It's working in partnership to tackle serious and organised crime and it's making critical decisions that will change lives forever.

As a TVP Police Officer, you will:

engage on a daily basis with the community

- attend 999 and 101 calls
- prepare reports and take statements from members of the public
- investigate crimes and offences
- conduct searches
- make arrests and attend incidents.

We are looking for resilient individuals whose first instinct is to help and support others; the problem solvers and solution-finders, those calm under pressure, who ask questions and are curious, but also approachable with a natural ability to communicate with people from all walks of life.

It's a position of responsibility, of trust, and of purpose.

Above all, it's working as part of a family, a policing family. A team that pulls together as one, rising to the challenge every single day.

If this sounds like the role for you, why not become a Police Officer in 2024?
