Be a visible leader in your community
The graduates who choose Police Now want more. More than a 9-5, and more than a regular graduate scheme. They want to see the difference they’re making each day: in communities, in society, and in individual lives. They want to bring their diverse backgrounds, their experiences and their ideas into visible roles across England and Wales. They want to right the wrongs they see in constructive and positive ways.
They want to build long-term relationships inside of communities. They see the bigger picture and can put together services in neighbourhoods to help people, to create solutions that allow communities to flourish.
