Why Avon & Somerset Police?
Our organisation area is vast, covering over 1,855 Square miles and serving nearly 1.7 million residents.
We service an international airport flying to over 130 destinations, miles of picturesque coastline, a huge network of roads, a vast number of towns and rural villages and not forgetting the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Bristol and the world renowned, cultural spa city of Bath.
These all produce a challenging, lively and diverse policing environment. In addition the night time economy in many of these areas makes us a truly 24/7 service. Across all of this expanse our focus always is to provide outstanding policing for everyone.
There really is something for everyone in Avon and Somerset making it a fantastic place to live and work.
We have so many amazing days out and events across our patch, the international Balloon fiesta attracts over 500,000 visitors each year and is simply breath taking to watch. We have great seaside days out in places like Weston Super Mare, Burnham and Brean and let’s not forget all of the historical and cultural attractions on our door step.
If you are more enticed by the hustle and bustle there is a huge array of events and opportunities such as Glastonbury Festival, Championship football matches, carnivals and a continuously growing music and show scene. There are also numerous opportunities to get involved celebrating the diversity across Avon and Somerset with events such as the famous St Paul’s Carnival and numerous pride events throughout the region with the Bristol event being ranked in the top 30 of Global world pride events.
We have a host of award-winning schools, colleges and universities including UWE and the University of Bath, these offer excellent opportunities for those students looking to take that next step.
