Sergeant process 2024

Applications are now open for our Sergeant Process 2024

This is an exciting time for Staffordshire Police. With an ambitious programme underway to transform the way we work, we are now looking for Sergeants to complement our existing team and drive this work forward.

We want our Sergeants to have a passion for serving the community, putting the needs of victims and witnesses first and developing staff to provide a first class service.

This opportunity is open to high performing substantive Police Constables looking for promotion within the organisation, external Police Constables for transfer on promotion or substantive Sergeants who are keen to join us on a level transfer.

Karina Bates, Violence Reduction Unit Sergeant

I was a PC for 14 years before deciding to start the Sergeant’s process. I wanted to gain as much experience as an operational officer in different areas of policing before applying to become a Sergeant.

Throughout the process, I learned a lot about myself and my capability. I found areas of policing I was passionate about and am really proud of how far I’ve come.

Terry Bell, Neighbourhood Sergeant

I’ve been on a long journey to get to this point but I am so pleased to finally be here.

Facing the challenging nature of policing in itself is often scary, but with having dyslexia as well has also been challenging but the support I have received from the force has been amazing.

I have found ways of coping with my dyslexia throughout my career to be the best operational officer I can be.
