Secure job with lots of learning available
|
I have enjoyed working for West Midlands police since 2002. There have been a number of development opportunities and I have developed well as a person because of it.

Public amazing - management and MOST officers terrible
|
Worked as an officer for 11 years and the bullying that you can get was terrible! They take away all that you stand for and treat you like dirt if you don’t want or agree with their culture.
I suffered terrible depression from bullying and just worked alone to save any horrible situations! I ended up being medically retired for an illness but relieved in a way .
I would definitely not recommended this as a place for anyone to work

Challenging and rewarding
|
Job can be very challenging and rewarding at times, long anti social hours but can be exciting, you have to expect sometimes your days off are cancelled or at the end of your shift you have to stay on, you may have to deal with vert traumatic incidents. However it is a secure job, can be exciting, adrenaline rushing and sometimes fun

Challenging

A lot to learn in a short space of time. I found the training hard and the nature of the job stressful. Also the shifts, I wasn't suited to the environment.

Horrible place to work
|
If you like looking over your shoulder all day, this is for you. There is a culture of whistleblowing and you are expected to uphold standards that are difficult for a normal human being.

Not recommended
|
I proudly worked as a civilian for over 20 years, dealing with the public face to face and via the phone.
Once a very enjoyable and rewarding job and now no resemblance to the job I was interviewed for (also having to be re interviewed for your own job that you have years of experience was insulting) Poor management with more chiefs than Indians with staff under lots of pressure and stress and given more tasks added to job description with no regard for the wellbeing of the individual. Force contact is a shambles with management wondering why staff sickness levels are high especially with mental heath issues caused by working for WMP with no support in place. This once well oiled machine is no longer giving a good service to the public and I for one got fed up of fobbing members of the public off why we cant or wont do anything about the crime or issues they have become victims of because of policy changes.
Where once we were all part of a big family/team this is no longer the case with colleagues belittling and stabbing each other in the back to make themselves look good to supervision, and if you dare to leave you will be ostracized from so called friends with not even a text or call to wish you well.
I therefore can not recommend taking up a job if you value your health and social or family life.

Job security and variety
|
Policing is not for everybody, so think carefully before applying. But once in there are lots of different roles in which to find you niche. Good luck
|
Variety, protecting / helping people
|
Dealing with negative elements of society on a very regular basis

I do not recommend a career in the Police. It takes away your rights and feelings as an individual and you become simply a number and a robot.
|
Working for the Police takes over your life. The aggressive culture changes you. Over time it affects your mental and physical health. You are no longer a person with thoughts appinions and feelings; you are a number. If you disagree with management and challenge things that are unfair you get patrionised, dismissed and shut down. I would not recommend working for Police unless you are a person who can blindly be told what to do and have no opinion whatsoever.
