Role:
Unleash your potential. Be a part of the future of policing.
Being a police officer with #teamnp is a unique career filled with reward and challenge. No two days on the front line are the same, and it will be your job to protect the vulnerable, support victims or crime and to build trust and forge valuable relationships with the diverse communities you serve.
We are looking to recruit individuals who live and work by our values, and those who will be committed to our purpose to “keep people safe and fight crime”. This is a career where you can truly make a difference and change people’s lives every day.
Ways into policing
Our entry routes into policing are largely focused around your academic qualifications and previous experience. Whether you already have a degree, you’re looking to gain one or you’re looking to become a uniformed officer without training for a higher education qualification, there are several ways into the world of frontline policing. You can access further information about our entry routes here.
We are currently closed for applications, but you can still sign up to express your interest! That way, you’ll be the first to know when our applications re-open and you’ll be invited to a mandatory information event.
In the meantime, you can find out more about applying to become a detective through our, or a uniformed police officer through our degree holder programme, degree apprenticeship or police constable entry programme.
Once recruitment re-opens, we will be in touch via email inviting you to book on to an information event. Here, you’ll gain insight into what working as a detective or uniformed police officer at Northumbria Police is really like, find out more about the application process and how to prepare for the role, eligibility requirements, police officer pay & benefits, and you’ll have the opportunity to speak to current officers about life at #teamnp.
Once you’ve attended an event, we will email you an application form link to your registered email address.
If you apply during our next scheduled campaign, you can expect a start date in either March, September or November 2025 and we will advise on which date you’re aligned to during your application process.
