How to Apply

Authorities recruit independent members every 2 years.  Most authorities are currently recruiting independent members to start in October 2008. 

When a police authority has a vacancy for an independent member they will advertise in a number of ways, such as local papers, their website, etc. You can then contact your local police authority to get an application form.

 

Equal Opportunities
All police authorities are firmly committed to a policy of equal opportunities. They welcome applications from all eligible persons irrespective of ethnic origin, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other irrelevant factor. Police authorities want their independent members to represent as wide a range of people as possible.
