Welcome to our force
Thank you for your interest in joining Dorset Police.
Our force covers a hugely diverse geographic area, from the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast to rolling hills inland. Although Dorset is predominantly rural, we also police Bournemouth & Poole, an urban area larger than most British cities, and many towns and villages.
If you are currently serving as an officer from a Non-Home Office police, such as the British Transport Police (BTP), the Ministry of Defence Police (MOD), the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC), or the National Crime Agency (NCA), then please click the link below to apply.
For awareness, from a regulatory perspective, a candidate moving from a non-Home Office police force to a Home Office police force will not be considered a ‘transfer’ as per Regulation 2(1) and defined in Regulation 3(2). Instead will be regarded as recruitment from a non-Home Office police force.
