• 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
• work a full pattern of day and night shifts

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

• be a British citizen, or an EU/European Economic Area (EEA) national, Commonwealth citizen or foreign national with Indefinite Leave to Remain or Pre-Settled/Settled status and no restrictions on your stay in the United Kingdom (for PCEP, DCEP and PPD). Applicants for the PCDA cannot be accepted with Pre-Settled status due to national funding rules of the Apprenticeship;
• have been a UK resident for the last three years;
• hold a full manual UK or EU driving licence by the time of formal offer;
• not have served any time in prison or youth detention (if you have a criminal conviction, it may lead to your application being rejected – we will take into account the date, nature of offence plus evidence of good character since the offence);
• be in good health and able to physically and mentally perform your duties;
• not have any piercings or tattoos which could cause offence;
• live within 30 crow miles/40 road miles/ a 1 hour commute of two of our main police stations by formal offer of appointment. A degree of flexibility is expected in terms of postings as we may be forced to post to locations within policy parameters if organisational need dictates this.
