Why join Merseyside Police

Policing on Merseyside is dynamic, challenging, rewarding and we take pride in everything we do. We are one of the best performing urban Forces as graded by HMICFRS and our strategy is to put the communities of Merseyside first in all we do. We have a strong focus on continuous improvement with particular emphasis on our approach to Reducing Violence Against Women and Girls; Tackling Serious Organised Crime and County Lines; Enhancing our approach to Diversity and Inclusion; and building trust and legitimacy through our approach to Community Engagement.

Merseyside is one of the smallest geographical forces, although serves a diverse population in a challenging policing area, responding to almost 1 million calls for service per year.

Our Force Strategy

Our vision is to put our communities first – we are committed to preventing crime and anti-social behaviour, through our developing approach to preventative policing, in order that we reduce the number of victims particularly those crimes that cause high harm. We are evolving our approach with the PCC to supporting victims of crime and we are dedicated to bringing more offenders to justice, whilst building in diversionary and preventative approaches.
