Welcome to one of the largest West Yorkshire Policing Careers event, being held in your local community, for you.

West Yorkshire Police are keen to represent the communities we serve. As an organisation our aim is to increase recruitment from underrepresented groups within our communities, attracting a diverse and talented workforce.
