Appointments will be made on merit on the basis of fair and open competition.
Policing a city as large, complex and culturally diverse as London presents a wide variety of challenges. It’s why we’re interested in new recruits with such a range of life experiences and backgrounds. And it’s why the ability to build trust and relationships with very different people is so important. More than this, you need to take genuine pride in making the capital’s neighbourhoods safer for everyone.
