Police Officer New Recruit

Do you want a career where the day job is like no other? Do you want to help others? Do you have a desire to make a real difference by ensuring the safety of Lincolnshire and our residents?

If so, a career within policing could be for you.

We are now accepting applications for new police constables with a view to starting on 29 March 2027.

We are looking for people with passion, drive, enthusiasm and a commitment to stop crime, protect people from harm, and help those in need.

As a police constable, you will be at the heart of protecting our local communities. Although a physically, mentally and emotionally demanding role, it is hugely varied and is truly one of the most worthwhile and diverse careers available. You will face many different scenarios that will test you more than ever before. You will protect the vulnerable when they need you the most and you will serve the public by building confidence and trust in the local communities that you serve.

From day one you'll be highly trained and supported throughout your policing career with us, initially enrolling onto our traditional learning programme which will provide you with a blend of practical "on-the-job" experience and classroom-based learning. You will then join your colleagues on the beat where you will continue your learning and development, whilst undertaking operational day-to-day police duties.

Joining as a PC is just the start of what we hope will be a diverse and fulfilling career for you. Many PCs then go on to become detectives, work in roads policing, armed response as well as progress through the management ranks. We look forward to welcoming you to the Lincolnshire Police family in the years ahead.
