Protecting our communities.
This is our mission.
Policing is fundamentally about working with people. Ensuring we treat everyone with fairness and respect, in every interaction, both within our communities and our organisation is one of our core values.
Preventing and thoroughly investigating crime, supporting victims and bringing offenders to justice. These commitments require us all to be courageous and do the right thing and cannot be achieved by any one person alone; it relies upon a team of approximately 10,000 staff, officers and volunteers, working alongside partner agencies and the public.
Policing evolves along with the challenges we face and we strive to improve every day. New digital technologies and ways of working are transforming the way we deliver our service and to do so at the highest standard, means we require the very best talent to join our family.
Policing is a unique and rewarding career. This is your opportunity to take on a role with pride and confidence, inspiring change so we can become an excellent police force trusted by all our communities.
We are proud to be Thames Valley Police (TVP) and you will be too.

Doing the right things, in the right way, for the right reasons
On 24 January 2024, the College of Policing published a new national Code of Ethics to reflect the challenges of modern-day policing whilst outlining the professional behaviours that the public can expect to see from officers, staff and volunteers.
Designed to underpin the policing sector, the Code of Ethics outlines the professional behaviours from a service that is fair, ethical and can be trusted to make decisions in the interest of keeping the public safe. The new Code aligns and helps to underpin Thames Valley Police’s own vision of being an excellent police force trusted by all our communities. As part of any new starter’s training/induction, you will receive a bespoke input about the Code of Ethics and how it applies to your everyday working practices.
You can read the Code of Ethics and find further information and resources about it, on the College of Policing website.
