police officer.
4) Can I carry out work
experience at Norfolk Police?
Places for work experience are limited, to find out more,
please e-mail the recruitment team via our contact us online
form.
5) Do you have Police
Cadets?
No, we do not operate a Cadet Scheme. However we recommend
that anyone who wants to become a police
officer, to become a Special first as this helps you to
understand the role of a police officer and is a good way
to get experience.
You could also be a Police Support
Volunteer. This is a civilian based role (you are a member of
staff rather than a police officer) in which you can help the
police of Norfolk Constabulary.
As part of police training, an officer will do role play
where he learns how to deal with people in different
situations. So a Police Support Volunteer may help the officer
by being an actor for the day!
They can also help by watching the drivers in their village,
making sure that they are not going too fast!
This is not a paid role.
