Ready for your next chapter in policing? Lincolnshire Police is looking for dedicated transferees.

Whether you're seeking a new challenge, a fresh environment, or a force that values your contribution and initiative, Lincolnshire Police could be the right place for you.

We're currently welcoming applications from Constable transferees to join our team, with multiple intakes planned throughout the remainder of 2026, and into 2027.

We welcome applications from serving officers looking to transfer into our force, especially those eager to make a meaningful impact in the east of Lincolnshire. While we will consider requests for other locations, offers will be made in line with operational requirements - which are currently focused on Boston, Spalding, Skegness, and Mablethorpe.

Whether you're drawn to the vibrant coastal communities of Mablethorpe and Skegness, or the strong sense of local pride in Boston and Spalding, this is your opportunity to bring your experience to a force that values community-focused policing. We’re looking for officers ready for a fresh challenge - where your contribution will be recognised and where you can help shape the future of policing in these key areas.

To support a smooth transition into Lincolnshire Police, we are pleased to offer a Transferring Officer Relocation Expenses Package for eligible applicants. This package allows transferees to claim up to £8,000 towards the costs associated with relocating to Lincolnshire.

Eligible expenses may include:

• Removal and storage fees
• Solicitor’s and estate agent fees related to the sale of your former home (against pre‑agreed estimates)
• Solicitor’s fees, estate agent fees, and stamp duty costs for acquiring a new property
• Initial expenses for arranging rental of a previously owned property

We also welcome applications from those seeking part-time or flexible working arrangements.

Before submitting your application, please ensure the following requirements are met:

• You must currently be serving as a Police Officer in a Home Office Force.
• You should have successfully completed your probation period and be confirmed in the rank of constable at the time of application.
• Please send your last three years of appraisals to [e-mail]. If you’ve recently been confirmed in post, submit your confirmation certificate along with your most recent performance reviews.
• Your mandatory training (e.g. Fitness test to level 5.4, Personal Safety Training, first aid, driving qualifications) must be current and evidenced. A medical assessment and vetting process are also required before any offer is made. .
• You should not be subject to any unsatisfactory performance processes, active improvement plans, or live disciplinary warnings.
• If you’re currently under investigation, or have an open complaint, we kindly ask that you apply once the matter has been fully resolved.
• While we welcome your preferred location choices, final postings will be based on operational demand.

We look forward to welcoming new colleagues who are ready to make a difference. Come be part of a force that respects your experience and supports your future.
