Are you from an ethnic minority background and curious about a career in policing? Police Scotland will be holding an online information event targeted to Scotland’s ethnic minority communities on Thursday 9 March 2023, 6.30pm – 8.30pm.
Police Scotland is committed to increasing diversity within its workforce to better reflect the increasingly diverse communities we serve.
Join us at our upcoming online information event, which will give you a fantastic opportunity to gain insight on the recruitment process and the training at the Scottish Police College. Plus, there will be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about working for Police Scotland.
The event will be held on Microsoft Teams, to sign up, email recruitmentpositiveactionteam@scotland.police.uk
These events are for groups currently under-represented in Police Scotland. The consent, support and cooperation of our fellow citizens lies at the heart of the identity and legitimacy of policing in Scotland.
To ensure that bond is as strong as possible, we must fully represent and reflect the communities we serve. Inclusion is an operational necessity and morally the right thing to do.
We are committed to increasing the number of officers and staff from under-represented groups. There are well documented barriers to some people applying to join the police service.
We therefore run a number of different recruitment events to answer specific questions from people from diverse communities. This is to make sure everyone has fair access to the Police Scotland recruitment process.
Applications to join Police Scotland are welcome from all suitable candidates, and you can find out more on their website.
