GLOUCESTERSHIRE Constabulary are launching a new recruitment campaign which aims to add 120 new police officers to the force.

The campaign, which starts next Monday (September 3), will run until Friday, September 14.

A force spokesman said: "We are looking for those who work effectively with others and demonstrate high levels of personal initiative, drive and resilience.

"In aiming to have a workforce representative of the community we serve, applications from females and members of ethnic minority communities are particularly welcome."

Deputy Chief Constable Jon Stratford said: "Gloucestershire Constabulary is always striving to develop our workforce and seeking to build a diverse range of police officers from all walks of life as we know this is important to enable us to continue to deliver the high level of policing that our public expects.

“Policing is still a great profession and one that can offer a great deal of job satisfaction so I really would encourage people from all walks of life to consider it as a career.

"Please bear in mind this isn’t just about academic achievement – we want to hear from those who can demonstrate qualities such as a strong awareness of community responsibility and the ability to make the right call under pressure.”
