Reviews for Police Officer at West Midlands Police
Nothing to add.
Detective Constable (Current Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 2 May 2023
Okay staff but the job role is far too demanding. Not enough time given to those with family, the diversity also is a massive issue for those in minorities.

Brillant work colleagues but poor management
Police Constable (Current Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 7 December 2022
Expect long days with no breaks and no time to eat. Expect cancel rest days with little to no notice. Team morale at an all time low.Work colleagues were fab and there is a sense of comadrie between the older officers. That culture is slowly dying out with the new inexperienced officers coming through the door.
Cons
Long hours, cancelled rest days and no breaks

New Degree Program is not the way forward
Police Officer (Current Employee) - West Midlands - 12 February 2022
New degree program is not the way forward. The workload is extremely large, lots of uni related work has to be done in own time even tho your told 'there is time allocated'. The university and police bearly have correspondence and theres constant duplication required for both sides. New online only uni was a joke and left me feeling clueless when starting properly. After giving it a year I can say, with the current state of recruitment, degree requirements, workload, stress and over unsatisfactory feeling at work. This career isnt for me. Maybe I'll return when things change.
Pros
Pention, every year get a pay increase for 7 years.
Cons
New team every 3 during 3 year probation. No guarantee of working in area of policing you want.
