Interested in becoming a police officer?

You'll discover that we're more interested in your potential, enthusiasm and ability than your background, gender or ethnicity.

We live in a multi-cultural society and the Avon and Somerset Constabulary is committed to developing a force that truly represents the diversity of the community we serve. But it's not easy. Breaking down perceptions is never a simple task. The important thing is that we won't stop until we've succeeded.

If you're aged 18 or over, are physically fit with good eyesight, numerate and literate - you're in the picture. You'll start with a salary of £22,104 per annum which, after completion of your initial training period, will increase to £24,675. After completion of a two year probationary period, this will increase to £26,109.

To serve the community, we have to mirror the community. That's why you'll also discover that we recognise that people of all ages and backgrounds bring something of value to our organisation. Once you're a qualified officer we can offer flexible working arrangements.
