Essex Police are proud to be part of the Defence Employer Recognition scheme (ERS), pledging our support to former Service personnel and their families. The idea behind the scheme is to ensure that the Armed Forces community are not unfairly disadvantaged because they or their family have served as a member of the military, by supporting them with the start of a new career. We have signed the Armed Forces Covenant which pledges our commitment in supporting Service leavers should they want to work for Essex Police.
Through the work we have undertaken so far to support those looking to start a new career with Essex Police, we now hold a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme gold award.

Investigate First – Detectives
We’re offering an exciting opportunity to enter our Investigate First programme to become a detective with Essex Police. This is a 2-year development programme with an expectation that full detective accreditation will be achieved following a work-based assessment in year 3.
The first year of the programme requires successful candidates to develop core policing knowledge and skills in a uniform role, before embarking on enhanced investigative training and specialist attachments to develop an investigative mindset.
After 12 months, candidates move into the detective arena where they will develop enhanced investigative and safeguarding skills in more serious and complex situations. Throughout this period, candidates will receive the highest level of training and support.
To succeed as a detective you’ll need to be inquisitive, determined, committed and tenacious. Detectives tackle the most serious offences, demanding the highest level of integrity and personal responsibility. Detective departments are enriched by officers from a range of different backgrounds, and our detectives are driven by the motivation to keep people safe and to act with integrity and honesty.
Starting salary range is £28,812 to £29,682 (this includes £3,000 South East allowance). Your salary will increase in yearly increments up to £43,032 within seven years along with a number of other benefits.
