Devon and Cornwall Police work experience

Devon and Cornwall Police are pleased to be able to provide work experience across the force area each year.

As we are unable to permit students to work alongside operational work, the week-long programme provides students with an understanding of multiple roles across the policing family. With inputs and activities across a wide range of roles, attendees will find a diverse range of opportunities within the force.

Devon and Cornwall Police provide work experience for year 10 students in July each year in the following areas:

If you are interested in attending our upcoming work experience opportunity, talk to your school work experience administrator to discuss how to complete an application. If you have any questions please email the our youth team.

Please note that applications will only be accepted up to 30 January 2025. Once we have received your application, we will shortlist entries and notify students by 28 February 2025 as to whether they have been successful or not. If successful, we will ask you to complete further forms (health and safety, medical etc) prior to attendance.

We look forward to receiving your application.
