Wiltshire Police Launch Major Detective Recruitment Drive
Wiltshire Police is on the hunt for experienced detectives ready to make the move from other forces. The county’s oldest and one of its smallest forces needs fresh talent to fill key roles in its Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Public Protection Department (PPD).
Why Transfer to Wiltshire?
Detective Superintendent Chris Hanson, who switched to Wiltshire last year, said the force offers a unique team spirit you won’t find in bigger forces. “There’s a strong sense of teamwork, friendship, and looking out for each other. Our detectives handle their cases from start to finish, leading to better outcomes for victims,” he said.
Wiltshire Police boasts flexible roles, from full-time to part-time, across various locations. The force also invests heavily in specialist training and career development, promising straightforward transfer processes and support for new recruits starting next spring.

DC Helen Carrick, who transferred from Thames Valley Police, praised Wiltshire’s strong team dynamic and better work-life balance. “If you’re thinking of applying, speak to someone who has already transferred. They can guide you through the process,” she advised.
