Metropolitan Police Careers

Who we're looking for

We are looking for people to give their time and skills, who have enthusiasm to make a difference.

People from all kinds of backgrounds volunteer, as long as you’re 18 or over and have been resident in the UK for at least three years, you’re more than welcome to apply.

You should also work, live or study in a London borough and be able to commit to at least 10 - but no more than 60 - hours each month. Everyone who joins must provide two references, pass standard MPS security checks and complete a confidential health questionnaire.

Pride in your appearance and good all-round communication skills are also a must.

It is important that we match your skills to a suitable Met Police Volunteer role. Volunteers undertake a number of roles that support the needs of their local borough, and we will endeavour to match you to roles that utilise your skills. If there are no roles that match your attributes immediately, applications will be kept on file for 6 months and you will be contacted if an appropriate role becomes available.

If you meet all the above criteria and want to be there for London, you can apply to become a Met Police Volunteer now.
