Protecting Jersey and supporting our community
Policing in Jersey offers a unique and rewarding experience that sets us apart from other jurisdictions. As the States of Jersey Police, we proudly serve the entire island community - balancing the needs of a thriving international finance centre, a close-knit island population, and a vibrant tourist destination. Our role is as diverse as Jersey itself, providing our workforce with a variety of challenges and opportunities that make every day different and exciting.
As a Crown Dependency, Jersey has its own government and legislation, meaning our police force is largely self-sufficient, taking on a broad range of responsibilities that might typically be divided among multiple agencies elsewhere. This means that our officers and other employees play a pivotal role in all aspects of island life - protecting our community, preventing crime, and making a tangible difference in the lives of Islanders.
Develop your skills and specialise in unique areas
We provide our people with training and opportunities to specialise in key areas such as criminal investigation, community policing, response, public protection, firearms and drugs squad. This level of specialist training allows our employees to develop a well-rounded skill set and tackle the unique challenges of policing an island environment.
Beyond uniformed policing, Jersey presents exciting opportunities to engage in tackling financial crime - one of the island’s key challenges. This offers a unique career path for individuals with varied backgrounds, and a keen interest in combating economic threats.
