Digital contact in Policing is a new and exciting area of growth within Suffolk Constabulary. We are seeing more and more of our community reach out to us using Live Chat, Social Media and email than we ever have before. As a result, we are excited to offer the opportunity of working within the new Digital Public Contact & Engagement team. 

As a Digital Public Contact & Engagement Operator you will be part of a small team dedicated to digital contact, working closely with colleagues in the Contact & Control Room (CCR) as well as officers around Suffolk, to deliver exceptional service to our community throughout Suffolk.  

We would like to encourage ANYONE who is interested in working in the Digital Public Contact & Engagement team to fill in the form below and come to the assessment centre. We have a diverse group of staff from all backgrounds and are keen to meet you even if don’t think you have the experience needed for the role, you might surprise yourself.
