Nottinghamshire Police

Policing in Nottinghamshire

Internationally famous for Sherwood Forest, home of the Robin Hood legend, the principle of serving and protecting our communities remains just as true as it did back then.

The force has a dedicated workforce of just under 3,800 officers and staff, who are supported by a growing army of hundreds of Special Constables, cadets and volunteers.

Located in the heart of England, the county is renowned for its sporting roots, including Trent Bridge Cricket ground, the Capital FM National Ice Arena, Meadow Lan - home to the world’s oldest football club Notts County - and the City Ground - home to former double European Cup winners Nottingham Forest.

We work closely with all of these attractions to ensure the thousands of tourists who visit Nottinghamshire each year have a safe and enjoyable visit.

Our priorities - engage our communities; create a service that works for local people; become an employer of choice.

PROUD values

Professional - Being professional is about having pride in what we do and inspiring confidence by delivering clear standards of service.

Respect for all - Having respect for all is about valuing people as individuals and treating people as they want to be treated.

One team - One team is about working together, rather than in silos, and valuing the contributions others can make.

Utmost integrity, trust and honesty - Demonstrating utmost integrity, trust and honesty is about being accountable, and doing what we say we’ll do.

Doing it differently - Doing it differently is about being prepared to challenge the status quo and never being afraid to try something new.
