Detectives with this type of experience are highly encouraged to apply.

It continues to improve the quality of crime investigations. I have been particularly impressed by the force’s outstanding work on disrupting the activity of organised crime groups.”
We have responded well to the financial pressures of recent years and our current restructuring will enable us to develop and improve further.
To deliver excellent service, we’re dedicated to maximising your unique potential.
