Why join Nottinghamshire Police?

Nottinghamshire Police are a pioneering force who have led the way in many areas of policing. We were the first force to launch the Police Degree Apprenticeship Programme, the first force outside of the Met to have a dedicated Knife Crime Team, the first force to meet the Op Uplift targets and we have recently seen validation from our staff through the Staff Survey scheme.

You will train at our new purpose-built £18.5m facility with gym and sports hall in Sherwood Forest – the home of Robin Hood - but above all, you’ll be joining a progressive force described by policing minister Kit Malthouse in April 2022 as a force 'at the top of its game'.

Located in the heart of England, Nottingham is considered one of the UK’s core cities and among the 10 best places to live, work, and raise a family in the UK. (source: OneFamily)
