EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BEING A POLICE OFFICER? Make 2015 your year of change........ Police Scotland is calling on people across the country to take on a new career in the new year as a police officer. Since Police Scotland’s creation in April 2013, more than 1,300 people have joined the force as officers. Anyone aged 17 and a half can apply to join Police Scotland as an officer, subject to satisfying eligibility criteria. The force is especially keen to recruit women, members of the LGBT community, people from ethnic minorities, school leavers & graduates, and mature recruits, who may be looking for a career change, or to give their time as special constables. Deputy Chief Constable Neil Richardson said: “Police Scotland offers a varied, and rewarding career for people committed to making a difference and keeping people safe. “Working as a police officer can be challenging, but Police Scotland provides first-class training which equips new recruits with the skills to carry out a job like no other. “Whether it’s solving a crime, reassuring a vulnerable member of the public or providing vital crime prevention advice, the focus for any officer is to keep people safe in the communities we serve. If this sounds like a career for you, apply to train as a police officer – it’s a career which is second to none.” Police Scotland Recruitment Manager Lesley Thomson said: “Police Scotland wants to recruit people who will make a difference, challenge themselves, learn new skills and help keep people safe. “Once you’ve completed your probationary training, and gained experience as a Constable, there are many varied career paths available. As a front line officer, every day will bring new and unique challenges. “We’ve had an exceptionally positive response from those who have attended our recent information evenings, and more dates are being planned for early February. If you’d like to come along and find out more, and talk to the recruiting team, more details will be on the events page of our website soon.” Further information and eligibility criteria is available on the Police Scotland website at bit.ly/1pAEnmf
