Police Service
Policing in Jersey is different to many other jurisdictions, as the States of Jersey Police provide a service to the entire island. A Crown Dependency, International Finance Centre, island community and popular tourist destination, Jersey provides our police officers with significant diversity in their role. Our own Government and legislation means that our police force is largely self-sufficient and provides a range of functions, normally delivered by other services.
The scope of our police officers’ work means they are integrated into all areas of island life making a tangible difference at a personal level. The support and training provided, follows this unique trend. Our officers are trained in specialist skills over and above their standard duties as required and can include Criminal Investigation, Community, Response, Public Protection, Firearms, Drugs Squad and Financial Crime. As well as uniformed service, our police force often has opportunities to join the fight against a prevalent island challenge; Financial Crime, presenting interesting paths for those with varied backgrounds.
