New Police Officer Vacancies ^ London and the South East
Joining the UK▸ ^s only national police force as a Police Officer, you^ll take on a crucial frontline role in one of the most challenging environments there is. British Transport Police is the national police force for Britain^s rail network, providing a policing service to rail operators, their staff and passengers throughout England, Wales and Scotland. Every day, on over 10,000 miles of track, we keep more than 6 million people and 400,000 tonnes of freight safe and secure. It^s a massive task and it demands huge amounts of talent and determination to succeed.
Our Police Officers have to be the best. There can be no exceptions. Situations can transform in a split second, so you^ve got to be ready for anything. Whether patrolling, responding to an emergency request, investigating criminal activity, gathering intelligence or reassuring emotional members of the public, you^ll always be highly responsible, highly visible, and highly effective. You^ll maintain order, carry out arrests and collaborate with the community to combat local crime at the grassroots. From fraud to murder, graffiti to theft, you^ll be there - wherever and whenever you^re needed.
To make the grade, you^ll need to relish variety and challenge. A natural communicator, you will be able to build instant rapport with people from all walks of life ^ whether part of a crowd, stressed or angry. Highly diplomatic and calm under pressure, you^ll be able to make decisions quickly and effectively and never lose your head in a difficult situation.
Don^t expect this to be an easy job and the hours can be highly unsocial. However, there are few others that are as interesting, exciting and fulfilling. You will also receive a fantastic benefits package including pension scheme, 22 days holiday and corporate discounts.
