A lot of forces are talking about neighbourhood policing and getting officers back out on the beat.

But we’re genuinely committed to it – not just talking about this in theory, but putting it into practice.

Our Chief Constable has been extremely vocal and supportive about our core aims – making sure local residents feel safer, reducing crime and detecting crime.

All staff at every level are expected to play their part.

If our officers don’t need to be at their desks, they are out on the street - providing a reassuring presence and arresting criminals.

As a successful and high-profile force, we’re forward-thinking, intelligence-led and focus on crime reduction.

At the same time, our culture’s friendly and personal. Our officers are seen – and treated - as individuals.



In addition to a great working life there is also a lot to do socially.
