Police Jobs in the
North East
3 forces covering Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar, Durham and the surrounding area — with live vacancies and what each force actually pays.
On 1 October 2026 the national joining the police website listed 2 of these 3 forces as recruiting police constables : Cleveland, Northumbria. Police staff and PCSO roles are advertised separately on each force's site. For jobs near you, start with the force that covers where you live or want to work.
The North East's three forces are compact and recruit less frequently than the larger metropolitan forces, which makes windows here easy to miss. All three are on the national pay scale.
