Sergeant Dan Phillips, from the Recruitment Team, said: “I’ve been with the constabulary for 30 years now and have had such a varied and rewarding career.

"I’ve worked on Intervention where we respond to emergency calls, then in the Safer Neighbourhood Team, where we help tackle crime and forge strong relationships with the local community, and latterly in the Armed Policing Unit where I specialised in multiple roles.

The great thing about working for the police, is that you don’t have to stay in one department or area – there are lots of opportunities internally which you can explore.

"I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the police to anyone looking for a new and exciting challenge.

“On the day, there will be opportunities to speak to police officers from various teams and our recruitment department will be available to advise you on the joining process, which teams might be suitable to your interests and the next steps should you wish to apply.
