As part of a drive to recruit around 200 new police officers this year, Thames Valley Police is opening police constable recruitment on Monday 27 February.
A career as a police constable with us is challenging but offers an excellent opportunity for those who want to develop their skills whilst transforming the lives of local people. Whether it’s fighting major crime, responding to road traffic collisions or building relationships with the community, there is no career quite like policing.
Thames Valley Police is aiming to recruit around 200 new police officers this year in order to maintain a resilient frontline service. We are keen to recruit people with a wide range of skills and experiences and an understanding of cultural issues. As an organisation we are keen to fully represent the diverse communities within the Thames Valley area and would encourage applicants from minority backgrounds who are underrepresented in the Force.
To be eligible to apply, candidates must hold two A Levels graded pass (A-E), an equivalent (Level 3) qualification or higher. Please note this includes equivalent vocational and international qualifications; if you have any queries about the equivalency of your qualification please email the recruitment team.
Candidates must attend an eligibility appointment prior to submitting their application. These appointments are limited in number and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Further information about how to book your appointment will be available on our website from Monday 27 February when recruitment opens.
