Community Protection Officer

As a Community Protection Officer, you'll be at the heart of public safety, carrying out daily patrols to reduce crime, gather intelligence and take necessary enforcement action. This is a varied role involving stray dog functions, community and youth engagement, enforcement of Public Space Protection Orders, investigation of low-level ASB and nuisance complaints and attendance at organised events.

This role is about making a real difference to the safety and wellbeing of our communities. You'll be part of a supportive team, trusted to act decisively, and given the tools to succeed in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

If you're motivated, reliable, and passionate about public safety, we'd love to hear from you.
