They also to respond to calls for service within communities. Often they are the local face of policing on their patch.
We believe it is really important for our police force to be part of the community and reflect the wonderfully diverse communities we have in Lancashire therefore we really welcome applications from those communities who are underrepresented within the force.
We are keen to recruit people who are able to demonstrate excellent communication skills, can adapt to changing situations, and have a positive attitude to the work that they do, in order to help us deliver this service.
