SYP - Detective Superintendent

Are you ready to face some of the biggest but most rewarding challenges in policing?

This is an exciting time to be working for South Yorkshire Police; a large Force aspiring for outstanding results in a proud and thriving region. In addition to large-scale transformation, there is the unique and ever-evolving challenge of policing the South Yorkshire community.

We will look to you to deliver our organisational priorities, working in partnership to innovate, understand, realise and reflect the diverse needs of our customers and communities in all that we do. Being an integral part of the force, you will be responsible for driving through change to transform service delivery and role model our high standards. You will achieve this by upholding our professional values, overseeing the management of large teams and delivering projects, both locally, and across South Yorkshire.

As a leader, often with independent command, you will face a number of challenges including the drive for dramatic crime reduction, ensuring that our policing style meets community expectations, and maintaining effective policing against a changing economic climate.
