Joining us as a police officer, you will become a member of a policing family that delivers a high quality policing service to the diverse communities we serve across the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. As a force, our purpose is to prevent and reduce crime, attack criminality, protect vulnerable people, provide reassurance and deliver value for money for the residents and businesses of Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland.
It's a challenging 24/7 service and you will work a range of shifts, including nights, as we cover 365 days of the year. You may not always be there for birthday parties, Christmas or family holidays but what you will get is the satisfaction of working for a team like no other.
Ask any of us why we became police officers and we’ll all have different reasons. But it all boils down to this: to do something real and make a difference.
