At North Yorkshire, you'll be part of a team where professionalism is valued. Our values of courage, compassion, and inspiration underpin the service to the public we provide. It's also a place where we recognize that different perspectives and talents make for a stronger police service.
You must be a person who thrives on challenges and is willing to work hard to learn the skills necessary for this demanding role. Being a Police Officer is tough and unpredictable, however, it is incredibly rewarding with high levels of job satisfaction.
We’ll give you the training, trust, and personal development to expand your career in any direction you choose. Starting a career in the police can be one of the best things you’ll ever do. You’ll be able to make a real difference in your community, reducing crimes and making people safer. But being a police officer isn’t for everyone – it’s one of the most challenging careers you can choose, being physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding.

* Deal with complex and sensitive cases, requiring clear reasoning and evidence gathering
* Think on your feet – problem solving and responding to new challenges
* Develop new skills as data and technology become ever more important to policing
* Work well with colleagues as part of an effective team
* Have great people skills, remaining calm and patient with members of the public, particularly in stressful or volatile situations
* Handle traumatic situations and communicate information sensitively
* Be decisive and use your police powers appropriately
