Transferees
Durham Constabulary are currently accepting applications from officers wishing to transfer.
"I worked in the Metropolitan Police Service for 3 years until my transfer to Durham Constabulary and have found it to be a very friendly and welcoming place. Durham Constabulary is definitely a lot more community focused when it comes to policing the streets and is very much responsive to the communities' needs and expectations. Working as a professional development officer I am able to see first hand how much support and guidance officers have within Durham Constabulary. The management I have worked with are all very helpful and supportive."
