PO/043/C Cambridgeshire Transferee Police Constables and Detective Constables - November 2017

Cambridgeshire Constabulary polices the five Cambridgeshire districts and Peterborough unitary authority areas through six coterminous policing command units.  Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have a diverse and rapidly growing population of over an estimated 800,000 people. Cambridge’s population is increased during term times by the transient student population.

The two main conurbations of Cambridge and Peterborough together with market towns and rural farming areas present the police force with a wide range of policing challenges. Each area has its own individual policing needs.  In Cambridgeshire over 15 per cent of the population is of an origin other than white British, while in Peterborough that figure almost doubles; an increase of over 14 per cent since the 2001 Census. This is primarily made up of migrants from Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East and Asia.

Analysis of data from National Insurance Registrations suggests Cambridgeshire has among the highest numbers of migrant workers in the East of England, while the East of England ranks third in the country after London and the South East. The number of languages spoken within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough now exceeds a hundred.

The county has long standing resident populations of Chinese, Polish, Italian, Indian, Pakistani, West African, African-Caribbean and Bangladeshi descent. It also attracts both transient and residential Gypsy and Traveller communities onto both private and public caravan parks.

There are strong transport links with the A1, A14 and M11 running through the county and a mainline train link between London and the North of England. Police HQ is based across the road from the station and approximately five minutes’ drive from the A1 or A14.

At Cambridgeshire Constabulary we recruit, retain and develop talented people. We are actively building a diverse workforce representative of the community that we serve. If you can help us to create a safer Cambridgeshire and are a female officer, from a BME background or can speak another language aside from English, then we are particularly interested in hearing from you.
