Would moving into a career in policing interest you?

Off By Ed Hanna

Cumbria Police is recruiting now and is seeking enthusiastic individuals to join their ranks as a police officer.

PC Lee Clark, who Served in the Army for 24 years, joined Cumbria Police in 2020. He said: “The life experiences and skills you develop while Serving in the Armed Forces make a move into policing an ideal and interesting career path.

The challenges I have faced since joining the police and the excitement this provides is comparable to aspects of what I experienced Serving in the Army. Cumbria is an ideal location to work in as well as live or visit. Serving communities in one of the more beautiful parts of the country is a genuine pleasure.

From the outset, I have been supported by my colleagues and the wider organisation. Cumbria is a forward-thinking force, with great kit and technology that supports an officer in keeping people safe.

There are various specialisms to explore and opportunities to progress your career in policing, which helps support a seamless transition into civilian life. No two days are ever the same.”
