Recruitment Drive Launched For Police Constables

A new recruitment drive has been launched for Police Constables.

The initial selection test for applicants can now be completed online on the PSNI's website.

Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris said: "There have also been a number of changes in the Student Officer Training Programme delivered at the Police College, Garnerville. The programme is now 23 weeks. Student officers will be assigned their policing district during their induction and spend a full day in their future operational station during the first week of their training.

"An extensive advertising campaign has already commenced which includes online, radio and advertisements in a range of publications. We have also developed a number of interactive multimedia activities which can be viewed at www.joinpsni.co.uk. These will also be posted on social media and will be of interest to those who are considering a career as a police officer."

The closing date for applications is Friday 10 November at 12 noon.
