Police Scotland Launches Unique Recruitment Drive for New Officers

Edinburgh: Police Scotland is kicking off the second phase of its recruitment campaign. They’re using TV, radio, and digital ads to attract new officers across the country.

The campaign is all about showing potential candidates how their existing skills can fit into the role of a police officer. It’s a reminder that policing is truly a job like no other.

The first phase started back in September 2024, featuring social media videos where real officers shared their personal journeys into policing. It was pretty inspiring!

As of November 2024, the number of officers in Police Scotland hit 16,603. They’re keen to keep those numbers up with ongoing recruitment efforts.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland mentioned that the latest campaign emphasizes how the skills you already have might be just what you need to become a police officer.
