If you’d like to join as a detective constable (DC) please register with us and we will be in touch when our entry route to join direct as a DC re-opens. As a DC, you’ll work on investigations to analyse evidence to uncover the truth. You’ll support victims of crime when they need your help the most and bring offenders to justice. You could find yourself working to safeguard a child or vulnerable adult, tracing someone who’s missing or tackling those criminals that cause communities the most harm. Every day is different, but what you do everyday matters.
