Welcome

Avon and Somerset Police is a progressive and caring police force of over 5000 people working together to deliver outstanding policing for everyone. Our mission is “Serve. Protect. Respect.” and this is an exciting time for us. We’re going through a time of rapid change and development, but with the support of our workforce, partner agencies and community, we are transforming the organisation for the future.

With our Headquarters in Portishead, and stations across the area, we support a very diverse community which brings both challenges and great rewards, and the force is working hard to serve and be representative of that community.

As a force, we are committed to four key values: ‘Caring’, ‘Courageous’, Inclusive’ and ‘Learning’. These are essential characteristics that we look for in our people and expect to see them reflected in all our behaviours, decisions and interactions. Equally, we make a promise to embody these values in the way we support our workforce to excel. Wellbeing and engagement is central to this approach. We want every member of our organisation to feel confident that we actively support their welfare throughout their career – and invest significantly in both physical and mental health initiatives, as well as wider programmes dedicated to creating an inclusive and respectful work environment.

We are acknowledged as being at the forefront of technology and innovation in policing with some of the most advanced systems to support policing – pioneering the use of Body Worn Video and data analytics technology, as well as completing a force-wide roll out of laptops and mobile phones to support agile working and increase efficiency.

Avon and Somerset Police also has a strong, positive, profile in the media, with a national reputation for creativity and innovation in our use of social media channels, marketing and documentaries. Working for Avon and Somerset Police offers a unique opportunity to play a real part in supporting our community and develop your career in an unmatched environment.
