The job of being a police officer will take you beyond your own expectations and give you more variety, challenge and reward than you could ever expect from any other career.

It encompasses a whole range of roles including: communicator, counsellor, diplomat, security guard and traffic controller to name just a few.

Becoming a police officer is a career which is at the same time exciting, monotonous, stimulating, tedious, rewarding and tiring and if it is the job for you it will really put all of your skills to the test.

Ultimately, your role will be to prevent and solve crime. But it is also about working in partnership with communities to make a real difference and improve quality of life for everyone - to make your local community feel safe and protected.

In this section we aim to give you a good idea of whether this is the career for you and what you can expect once you've made the decision to apply.

Please note: Thank you for your interest, however, Norfolk Constabulary is not recruiting for Police Officers, Transferees or PCSO’s and we do not foresee this situation changing for the foreseeable future.

However, why don’t you consider volunteering as a Special Constable and support the work of your police in your community?

The Special Constabulary is a force of trained volunteers who work with and support Norfolk Constabulary. ‘Specials’ as Special Constables are known, come from all walks of life – they are teachers, taxi drivers, accountants and secretaries, or any number other careers – and they all volunteer a minimum of four hours a week to their local police force, forming a vital link between the regular (full-time) police and the local community.
