Cumbria Constabulary are recruiting

Cumbria Constabulary will be appointing up to 90 police officers in their latest recruitment drive.

During the financial year 2015-2016, the force is looking to recruit officers in a bid to bolster its ranks in order to continue to offer a high-quality policing service to its communities.

The application process is now open and closes on 27^th February 2015.

The new officers will help deliver community policing and support the front line; working within the local communities and tackling their policing priorities.

Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Steve Johnson said, “Police Officers work hard to support our communities, to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and focus on the issues that matter most to local people.

“The new officers will replace officers who have retired and support the front line within local communities working with local people focussing on the areas that are important to them.

“Promotions within the force mean that we have been able to retain and maintain high levels of skill, knowledge and expertise.

“Whilst the force will be reducing the number of officers over the next few years, we will continue to bring new people in order to ensure we have a sustainable workforce.

“The successful applicants will join a top performing police force and will help to tackle crime so that Cumbria continues to be a safe place to live, work and visit.

“We are looking for people that are enthusiastic and who want to serve the local communities of Cumbria. We are looking for applicants who have a passion to make a difference.”

In welcoming the recruitment drive, Cumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Richard Rhodes said:

“I would urge anyone who seeks a challenging yet rewarding job and wants to make a real difference in their community to consider this opportunity to become a Police Officer in Cumbria.”

Thought for the Week

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” Nelson Mandela
