Are you somebody who enjoys building relationships and talking to people? Do you like solving problems and thinking on your feet? Would you like to know that every day, you are making a difference to people’s lives?

If you answered ‘yes’ to the above questions, then consider the role of Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) with Bedfordshire Police.

You will work alongside regular officers in a dedicated community policing team to help embed neighbourhood policing across the county. We will work with you to maximise and hone your existing skills to help you reach your potential and maintain the highest possible levels of public safety.
