Bring Your Investigative Experience to Wiltshire Police

At Wiltshire Police, we're looking for committed and experienced Detective Constables who are passionate about pursuing justice, protecting vulnerable people, supporting victims, and delivering high-quality investigations.

Whether you're seeking new challenges, broader investigative experience, or opportunities to develop your career within a supportive and professional environment, you'll join a force that values your expertise and recognises the vital role detectives play in keeping communities safe.

A Transfer Process Built Around You

Transferring to a new force is a significant decision. It's not just about your next role, it's about finding the right place to continue your policing career.

From the moment you apply, we'll take the time to get to know you, your experience, your interests, and what you're looking for from the next stage of your career.
