Devon and Cornwall Police is seeking new police constables.

It hopes to attract people from a range of backgrounds, ages, and levels of experience.

The recruitment campaign is part of a national scheme, 'Uplift', for which the government announced plans in 2019.

The force has so far recruited 79 student police officers in the first few months of this year. It hopes to add a further 444 by 31 March 2023.

Devon and Cornwall Police added that it has been able to recruit more officers from Black, Asian, mixed, or minority ethnic backgrounds and more women thanks to the scheme.

Assistant Chief Officer Alexis Poole, Director of People, said: "A career within policing is like no other. As a member of our force, you will help people every day, where no two days are the same.

"We offer constant professional development opportunities to allow colleagues to grow throughout their career and after successfully completing studies and probationary period, our police officers can look to specialise, move roles or study for promotion and pick from over 200 uniformed roles."

Applications close on 14 July.
