Police Constables
Are you who we're looking for?
Being a police constable means no two days are the same. Another shift, another incident. Thanks to their training and the support they receive as part of the Cheshire Constabulary family, our officers have the confidence to deal with whatever the next call brings.
It could be a burglary, a missing person, a sudden death, public disorder and many more occasions where people need the reassurance that police officers provide.
Professionalism with the human touch
You will also have a key role in guiding and protecting victims or witnesses who may well have had a distressing experience.
To handle all these demands effectively, officers must have empathy – understanding the points of view of a diverse range of communities and to address their particular needs.
What makes a good police constable?
Our officers come from a wide range of backgrounds, but they all share certain characteristics. Could you say ‘yes’ to all these?
Cheshire officers are…
- Honest people who believe in doing the right thing
- Determined to do their job well
- Physically fit – offenders have a habit of running away
- Caring enough to deal with people sensitively and tactfully
- Confident communicators
- Quick to understand situations when making decisions
- Team players who can also work independently when needed
