BECOME AN OFFICER

Warwickshire Police is currently closed for recruitment of Student officers for intakes throughout 2009/10. We are not accepting application forms or transferred applications for Student Officers. It is anticipated that we will not open for applications until 2011. Please check the website nearer the time for current information.

You'll be surprised at the huge range of career opportunities we can offer - they're as diverse as the county we serve. And with no two days ever the same, the role of an officer with Warwickshire Police is exciting, varied and challenging. Join us and make the most of your ambitions.

Warwickshire Police is the country's second smallest force, but it's got big ideas and needs committed, ambitious people to help fulfil its vision. The force is leading the way in areas such as criminal justice partnerships that will change the way in which offenders are brought to justice and help to drive crime levels down even further.

Being a small force means that officers can gain a wide range of experience in a relatively short time, and gives each one the chance to really make a difference to the local community.

You don't need any formal educational qualifications to become a police officer, although you'll have to pass a range of tests and selection procedures.

As a police recruit you'll qualify for a highly attractive pay package and an excellent pension. The starting salary for the probation period is £20,397, rising to £22,770 after completion of 32 weeks initial training.

As well as police officers and volunteer special constables, policing is supported by a large number of civilian staff, whose roles range from press officers and administrators to fingerprint experts and analysts.

Warwickshire Police also considers transfer applications from serving officers - so if you're looking for a great career move give us a call. We also need more special constables.

Warwickshire Police is committed to being an equal opportunities employer. Talk to our recruitment team today on 01926 415052 or write to:
