Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, Vera Baird QC, and Chief Constable Steve Ashman are paving the way for more than 600 recruits to join the force over the next three years so they can deliver the best possible service to the North East.

There are 200 different roles open to officers at the force including work on patrol, on our roads and in some of the more specialist roles like dog handling or working with police horses. There will also be a number of opportunities for new police staff and police volunteers.
