Hampshire Constabulary are looking for people from all ages and backgrounds to join their force, and they hope you might know someone who would be a great fit.

This could be you, your son, daughter, or grandchild, a neighbour or a friend.

If you think they have the right attributes, we’d like to hear from them.

Additionally, if you know of someone who is interested in getting a degree and who is looking for a meaningful and rewarding career in policing, we now offer the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA).

This is a fully funded route into policing that combines academic study with practical frontline experience.

  • Emergency Response
  • Neighbourhood Policing
  • Criminal Investigations

Learn from the Best
You’ll be supported by experienced officers, tutors, and mentors throughout your journey.

Not Sure About the PCDA?
You don’t have to take the degree route to start your policing career. With our Policing Plus scheme you can join us without committing to the PCDA and still begin a fulfilling journey in policing.

It’s a flexible way to get started and explore your potential in a variety of roles.

Who can apply?
This programme is ideal for school leavers, college students, or anyone looking for a career change who meets the eligibility criteria.

If you’re passionate about public service, problem-solving, and teamwork, there’s a path for you.
