The Police Service of Northern Ireland has today launched a further recruitment drive for Police Constables from the Newry area.

Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Alistair Finlay said the number of applicants in the previous campaign is testament to the enthusiasm that exists in Northern Ireland for public service.
“As someone who has seen firsthand the experiences and rewards that come with serving the community I am strongly encouraged by the interest we had in last year’s campaign and look forward to seeing more applicants apply in this next phase.
“There is no question that the recruitment process is rigorous however it has been developed to ensure that the very best candidates will go forward to be offered a place on the training programme. To ensure that potential candidates have all the information they need there are a number of familiarisation events currently running throughout Northern Ireland addressing all aspects of the process, including the Physical Competence Assessment.
“I would strongly encourage anyone who has thought about joining the Police Service of Northern Ireland to come along and find out how rewarding a career it can be.”
The next local familiarisation event is Thursday, June 5th – Mourne Country Hotel, Belfast Road, Newry
Sessions commence at 10am, last session at 7pm.
