Met Police are recruiting for a more inclusive service!
Could you serve one of the most dynamic and diverse cities in the world.
Serve London and see a side of the city that is a privilege - from policing large scale Royal, sporting and cultural events, local community partnerships, youth projects, serious crime taskforce and plenty more!

The Outreach Team are holding online and in person events, where you can find out how to prepare, apply, and succeed in your application to become a Police Constable.

We will also have support from EA BCU Safer Neighbourhood Team who will provide crime prevention advice during the day.

We can discuss the application and recruitment process, and will continue to provide support so you feel confident and prepared.

Sessions are delivered by serving Police and Detective Constables, who will share their journey, on what it is like policing in the dynamic and prestigious city, that is London.
