Dream Job? South Yorkshire Police are expanding their team of Armed Response Officers
The force are seeking qualified armed police officers who are looking for a new challenge, policing in a diverse and ever changing part of the UK that serves a population of over 1 million.
The recruitment drive comes after Firearms Support Group (FSG) undertook 700-armed deployments across South Yorkshire last year, providing initial response and pre-planned support to incidents and investigations across the county.

South Yorkshire Police said “We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and hard-working individuals to join our team as we move towards the inception of a standalone MAStS team from April 2021, where in return, we can offer you the opportunity to use and develop the skills you have been trained in.”
“In addition, we offer a variety of support initiatives to improve work/life balance. These include a positive health & wellbeing policy, reward leave and dependants’ leave for those unexpected moments in life.”
So, if you are
- Passionate and dedicated to serving your community
- Current authorised armed response vehicles officer
- Trained to the national ARV role profile
- Able to pass the JRFT to level 9-4
