Cambridgeshire Constabulary is facing unprecedented levels of demand for our services. Response policing is at the forefront of tackling both traditional and emerging crimes—from anti-social behaviour to cyber-enabled fraud. Our Response Officers are the first on scene, making critical decisions under pressure and providing immediate support to victims and communities. We are working hard to ensure we have the right officers with the right skills to bring about a swift resolution for incidents.
Cambridgeshire has a very engaged, caring and outward-facing approach to policing. We value local partnership working to effectively tackle crime and the fear of crime. We are very proud of the mature and active partnership problem-solving work which takes place right across the county. Ensuring a quality service to the public is important to Cambridgeshire Constabulary and we are looking for committed and confident response officers who can engage positively with the community and effectively manage incident-related risks.
The county of Cambridgeshire has a growth forecast in both population and business with a in becoming a major centre for innovation and technology. Cambridgeshire Constabulary has a North/South operating model for policing. This provides the Force with a Northern policing hub based around Peterborough and a Southern policing hub based around Cambridge.
In the Northern hub, officers deploy from reactive bases at Thorpe Wood in Peterborough, and also from Wisbech and March. In the Southern hub, reactive officers deploy from Milton in Cambridge and also from Ely and Huntingdon. This new model will help ensure that policing activity is focused on reducing threat, risk and harm and that the Force allocates policing resources based on the demand profile.
