As a police officer you will be required to work shifts. Policing is 24/7, which means there will likely be times when you’re needed for shifts, working evenings and/or weekends. Before applying, we recommend that you consider whether working varying shift patterns would suit you.
Depending on your police force’s work patterns, you can benefit from a shift pattern such as four days on, four days off, which gives you more flexibility with commitments outside of work.
