If you can deal with senior figures and work independently, we’d like to hear from you.

As police staff, the public expect us to display the highest standards, values, and professional qualities at all times. The CNC values and Code of Ethics applies to all police staff and sets out the principles and standards of behaviour we expect to see, and you are responsible for displaying and delivering these to the highest standards.
