Join us as an operational officer it's a unique role with unique demands that are ever-changing. You need to be adaptable to change and ready to think on your feet.

This route is for the Police Constable traditional programme (IPLDP).

Being a Police Constable means never knowing what's going to happen next. You'll be working long hours, typically 12-hour shifts, you'll be in contact with the widest variety of people, and you'll be expected to act with integrity at all times - even when you're out of uniform.

At the same time, it's a role that can give you some of the best and proudest days of your life. From protecting the vulnerable and saving lives to just making your local community feel safer, it's exciting, diverse and vitally important.

In return, you will have the benefit of working for a creative, forward-thinking force that is dedicated to keeping Leicestershire a safe place to live, work and visit.

Our community is incredibly diverse, so we should be, too. That’s why we’re working hard to build an inclusive workforce, where you can be yourself. Whoever you are. Wherever you’re from. We are currently under-represented in a number of areas and recognise that this message needs to reach talented individuals who can add diverse skills and experiences to our organisation.
