Being a police officer with #teamnp is a unique career filled with reward and challenge. No two days on the front line are the same, and it will be your job to protect the vulnerable, support victims or crime and to build trust and forge valuable relationships with the diverse communities you serve.

 

We are looking to recruit individuals who live and work by our values, and those who will be committed to our purpose to “keep people safe and fight crime”. This is a career where you can truly make a difference and change people’s lives every day.

 

 

Our entry routes into policing are largely focused around your academic qualifications and previous experience. Whether you already have a degree, you’re looking to gain one or you’re looking to become a uniformed officer without training for a higher education qualification, there are several ways into the world of frontline policing. You can access further information about our entry routes here.

 

Applications are currently closed, but we invite you to express your interest and be the first to know when we re-open in early 2025.
