Transferees
Are you a police officer looking for a new challenge?
We are currently looking for experienced Police Officers and Detectives up to and including Sergeants to join teams across the county.
We offer role specific ride-along attachments to anyone expressing an interest to transfer. This gives you the chance to experience policing in Norfolk, the way we work and the expectations we have so you can make an informed decision before joining.
We’ve made some significant changes in recent years as part of our modernisation programme to build a force fit for the future. We’ve made investments in frontline, safeguarding and investigation resources to change the way we work in a digital age.
As a police officer, we think your role is much more than responding to and investigating crime; it’s about reducing the fear of crime and working in partnership with our communities to make a real difference and improve the quality of life for everyone living and working in Norfolk.
Our Chief Constable's vision is to deliver exceptional policing in Norfolk by protecting our communities, building and sustaining trust, and delivering exceptional services.
We are also interested in officers who are currently:
- Detective Constables who are ICIDP qualified or working towards the qualification
- Authorised firearms officers
If you are ambitious and aspire to a diverse policing career in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, come and join us.
