Welcome to the Recruitment Section of the Strathclyde Police Website
As Scotland's largest police force – covering 5,371 miles with a population of approximately 2.2 million people - we're constantly looking to match our resources with the needs of our communities.
That's why we're currently in the middle of a major recruitment drive for both special and regular police officers. We will recruit over 800 new officers during this financial year together with a large number of special constables. If you're interested in joining us on the frontline, check out our police officers and special constables sections.
Of course there are other ways you could join us. Our frontline officers are supported by a team of 2,800 police staff, each as committed and dedicated as their uniformed colleagues. They fill a wide range of jobs including mechanics, solicitors, contact centre operatives and graphic designers. We're constantly posting new vacancies in our police staff section.
We look after an area that contains real diversity of people, geography and cultures. Our recruitment reflects the wider community we serve, with every age group and background represented. People from all walks of life are part of our workforce, and they all combine to provide a service which excels in community liaison and public reassurance. And of course you'll find all the support, development and job security you'd expect from one of the UK's largest police forces.
Jobs are advertised on our website and in various other media such as local and national newspapers, external websites and with JobCentre Plus – so the career you want could be just a click away.
