BEING GAY, WORKING HERE
KAREN WILSON, Police Constable
‘I am the chair of our LGBT support group, Keystone, and have been an out police officer for over 25 years. Our biggest achievement is making Hertfordshire a safer place to live and work for LGBT people. I have always found Hertfordshire Constabulary to be a friendly place to work and have never suffered any discrimination based on my sexuality.’

MORE ABOUT US
Together we look at where we can make the most difference to improving the quality of everyone’s lives and creating a safer Hertfordshire. In our work we put our communities first – we want to be there when victims need us the most and when criminals don’t. But, more importantly, we want people to be safe and feel safe whether they are in their homes, on the streets or at work in our county.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You must be able to volunteer for a minimum of 16 hours per month. You must be over 18. You must be a UK or EU citizen and have lived in the UK for at least three years. You must have good eyesight and fitness levels. You must have a good standard of written English. You must have no cautions or convictions within the last five years. You must be able to get on with people from all walks of life and be able to work (after training!) without direction but do as ordered. In short, you need to be a leader, often in difficult circumstances.
