This is an exciting opportunity to transfer directly to our Roads Policing Unit. Working from one of three bases, you will join a team of dynamic and motivated officers tasked with delivering to force and departmental priorities.

We are seeking to appoint highly motivated, ethical, and inclusive officers committed to delivering a high-quality service and legitimate policing within our communities, promoting trust and confidence.

We want officers of all backgrounds, particularly encouraging applications from female and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic candidates, as we know these groups are underrepresented within the Roads Policing teams.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Roads Policing and work within the Joint Operations Unit, one of the largest collaborative units in England and Wales.

Roads Policing works to the National Roads Policing Strategy - Policing our roads together; preventing harm and saving lives, fighting crime, changing minds, and driving technology and innovation.

Our focus is on preventing and responding to incidents across our road network, reducing serious and fatal collisions, delivering high-quality investigations, disrupting criminals, protecting those in need, and working together to support local policing.

Key accountabilities include:

  1. To deliver a high-quality and effective public service across the road network and within our communities.
  2. To work as part of a team to provide twenty-four hour cover responding to incidents across the strategic road network and within districts, supporting local policing.
  3. To attend and investigate potentially complex serious injury and fatal road collisions. You may be selected to perform the role of Investigating Officer or Family Liaison Officer for more serious collisions (once trained).
  4. To use intelligence in order to target both RPU, Force, and local policing nominals in respect of both substantive and specialist offences.
  5. To develop specialist skills through training (e.g., commercial and public service vehicles knowledge) and to maintain those skills through regular use and enforcement, in order to provide a range of support to colleagues and the public.
  6. To focus fatal enforcement activity on high-risk roads and routes, as directed by the RP Tactical and Coordinating Group [TCG].
  7. Consistently deliver effective, information, and intelligence-led patrol activity, working with internal and external partners to reduce harm and fight crime on the road network.
  8. Promote public confidence and satisfaction through high-quality victim-focused investigations and the effective communication of our work.
