Devon and Cornwall Police is currently hiring for a number of roles, including police constables, as part of its latest recruitment push - and you don't even need to have a degree to join.
As a constable, you will play a critical front-line role in the prevention and detection of crime. Constables work in partnership on a day-to-day basis with local communities, stakeholders and colleagues in order to promote law and order, reduce the fear of crime, provide reassurance and build confidence to improve the quality of life for citizens.
If you don't have a degree, you can join the force through their police constable degree apprenticeship (PCDA) programme, where you will be able to obtain a professional policing degree in your first three years. You will be fully funded, paid and supported whilst training.
