The PSNI is hoping to recruit 400 student officers as part of a new recruitment campaign on what is the service’s 20-year anniversary.
The ‘Make it a Career’ campaign will focus on the next generation of police officers in the PSNI, with people from all walks of life encouraged to apply.
Launching the recruitment drive Deputy Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said: “This week sees the Police Service of Northern Ireland mark 20 years as an organisation.
“During this time, we have witnessed immense change not only within our service but also as a society.
“The theme of this campaign is ‘Make it a Career’ and that’s exactly what we want people who are considering a career in policing to do.
“As we approach the 20th Anniversary of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, we want to focus on the future and the next generation of people who want to dedicate their careers to serving their local community.”
He added: “Policing is constantly changing and evolving and so are the requirements and demands of our police officers and police staff.
“Over the last few years, we have seen innovation in technology being introduced across our Service, which means that the very nature of how we keep people safe is constantly shifting.”
Successful participants who complete the 21-week training programme will receive an Advanced Diploma in Policing (Level 5), which is an undergraduate qualification accredited by Ulster University.
Mr Hamilton continued: “The Police Service of Northern Ireland is looking for talented, dedicated people from all backgrounds and walks of life who can offer a wide range of skills. We are committed to being representative of the communities we serve.”
The closing date for applications is Friday November 19.
