We’re looking for experienced Sergeants with strong leadership skills to support our response teams across the county. If you’re passionate about making a difference and want to be part of a force that values teamwork, integrity, and community, we’d love to hear from you.

Our vision is to be an outstanding force and provide a consistently good service to the public across the county. We believe in our values and strive to work to them in everything we do.

You’ll be joining a team that is:

Working for the constabulary

Policing in Derbyshire takes more than 3,500 people in a wide range of roles. Around half of these are police officers, but we also have a variety of police staff. From police community support officers to police staff and volunteers, we all play an equally important role in protecting the people of Derbyshire.

It’s a vibrant, challenging and rewarding place to work and we’re committed to equality and diversity. We aim to create a constabulary that truly reflects the communities we serve. As part of this, we promote Positive Action. This means when you apply to join us, as well as assessing you on merit, we’ll look at your application according to our need and in line with current legislation to actively encourage a more diverse workforce.
