The Police Service continues to face some of the biggest challenges of resources and resource management in its history, whilst being tasked with maintaining services and reducing crime. Budget cuts and efficiency savings have already become everyday phrases in any conversation related to UK police forces.

Servoca Resourcing Solutions have an established proactive and responsive solution offering for the police service in a wide range of disciplines, from the provision of temporary staff for specific roles as well as fixed term and permanent recruitment for non-warranted positions.
Through our extensive database we are currently supplying forces with former police officers and specialist support staff to undertake roles including but not limited to Investigations, Volume and Major Crime, Specialist and General Support as well as Trainers.
