Would you enjoy working as a responsible and respected member of a closely knit and well organised team? What will my duties be? Most of your duties will be on uniform patrol, either on foot or by car. There will also be occasions when you will be asked to assist with the policing of public events, both large and small, where you will patrol and perform traffic control duties to help maintain the safety of the public.

However, we ask that your duties are agreed in advance so the best use can be made of your valuable time.
