Police Staff

Cheshire Constabulary are one of the biggest employers in the county, with around 1,900 support staff roles. You would be surprised at the different types of roles available. Please visit our Police Staff pages for more information.

Police Constable

Like many other Forces, the Cheshire Constabulary has moved towards requesting that those applying to become police officers, do so with a professional qualification in Policing, Law, and Investigation. This brings the police service in line with other professions, such as teaching and health, where those applying to join must have first completed the necessary academic course.

The Constabulary has joined with Chester University in offering a two year Foundation degree course in Policing, Law, and Investigation, with the option of an additional third year to attain a BSc. All applicants will be required to join the Special Constabulary to achieve the required vocational skills to pass the course. The course commences in September 2013 and full details are available on the University of Chester website.
