Detective Constable - Transferees (DP 25,1)

Make your experience count, join Derbyshire Constabulary!

At Derbyshire Constabulary we pride ourselves on recognising people with real potential. That’s why we offer our officers so much support, motivation and training because, as they improve, so will our force.

Derbyshire is a predominantly rural area which includes large parts of the Peak District National Park, offering opportunities for an outdoor lifestyle and an enhanced quality of life. However, we also have vibrant urban centres in the city of Derby and the town of Chesterfield and our central location, with excellent transport links and trains taking you to London in 90 minutes, suits those who also enjoy the city life or like to escape and travel on their rest days.

Whether you want to specialise in a particular area of policing, or progress through the ranks, our experienced leaders can help you to reach your goals. All you have to do is bring us your talent, dedication and enthusiasm and we’ll welcome you to the team.

Currently we have vacancies within the following areas of the Crime Directorate.  There may be additional vacancies available within other departments in due course and wherever possible we will look to accommodate requests in order of preference considering this alongside operational needs. 

• Child Investigation Team (Based at Chesterfield and Derby)
• Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit (Based at Chesterfield and Derby)
• High Risk Domestic Abuse (Based at Chesterfield and Derby)
• Criminal Investigation Dept (Based at Chesterfield and Derby)
• Major Crime Unit (MCU) (Based at Derby)
• Economic Crime Unit (Derby, Chesterfield, or HQ (Ripley)

If you are high performing and looking for a new challenge, then this could be the place for you.

In return, as a detective officer transferring from a Home Office Police Force, you will retain:

• Your previous service and current levels of pay (excluding force specific benefits i.e. London weighting).
• Annual leave entitlement, as long as there is no break in service.
• Your current pension arrangements.

We are also able to offer the 'Recommend Derbyshire' scheme for this vacancy, the details of which are attached.

The must haves

• Be a member of a Home Office force or Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) or Police Scotland (please note we cannot accept an application to transfer from an officer serving with a non-Home Office police force).
