Our officers play a vital role in ensuring that the communities of the West Midlands are kept safe.
It isn’t easy but it is rewarding and can be a career like no other. We want people to join us who have a range of life experiences and backgrounds; it is vitality important that we represent all of the communities that we serve.
Policing uses plenty of everyday skills, from being able to reassure someone who has been a victim of crime to just being that friendly face that encourages a vulnerable person to open up and talk. Our training equips officers for the specialist skills they need to do the job, but it’s the human touch - kindness, humour, friendliness and empathy - that people remember.
