Working at Devon and Cornwall Police is more than just a job.
It's a rewarding career where no two days are the same.
Modern day policing is not all about one role. Whatever you are interested in, there is a career for you
Behind every uniformed officer is a whole host of people utilising their talents and working together to make sure resources are available at the right time and in the right place.
Whether you are a mechanic, cleaner or administrator all the way through to accountants, lawyers and volunteers, you too could be part of the teams that work around the clock to police the streets of Devon and Cornwall.
Am I eligible? / Can I join?
We're looking for individuals from all walks of life who are physically capable and psychologically resilient.
If you’re considering a career in policing, you’ll need a strong work ethic, a genuine passion for serving and protecting your community, and the drive to take on a role that’s much more than a job.
If this sounds like you, you could be one step closer to a rewarding future with Devon & Cornwall Police.
A workforce that reflects our communities
Our ability to build trust, understand problems and support our communities across a range of policing matters, relies on us having a workforce that is reflective of our communities and all the unique individuals that exist within them. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce and to eliminating discrimination.
We are currently under-represented by Black people, Asian people, and people of ethnic heritage; people who are disabled and people who are neurodivergent; women (in police constable, detective constable, and special constable roles).
If you fall within one of these under-represented groups, our Positive Action Team can provide support ahead of a recruitment process. You can find out more below:
In order to achieve this we are proud to pursue a policy of ‘positive action’.
