At Suffolk Police, we believe that every single day, whatever your job, you put on a uniform and prepare to serve. Whether you’re serving your boss, your customers, or your clients, you have a set of skills that allows you to serve your whole community.
We have launched our new recruitment campaign, #proudtoserve, to encourage those looking for their next career change or step to consider how the skills they use everyday can give back to their community more with a career in policing.
We’re asking you to change your day, change your uniform, and be #proudtoserve.
The job of being a police officer is an extremely challenging and rewarding career and no two days are ever the same.
On any given shift you could be responding to an emergency call, carrying out a search warrant, arresting a drug dealer or being a reassuring face to a victim of domestic abuse. On your next shift you could be patrolling in the local community, helping vulnerable people, interviewing a suspect in custody, or giving evidence in court.
Policing is not purely about enforcement. Your communication skills, compassion, and ability to build relationships with your community is key.
You’ll need determination, patience, and the ability to champion those around you.
