Alongside the police officers, the Police also employ many civilians, who work in a wide variety of areas.
We currently have around 570 civilian colleagues working within our ranks. They serve in support roles, and in some cases perform police tasks requiring very specific skills.
For example, there are civilian investigators and biologists working in the Forensic science unit, as well as IT specialists, office secretaries, records managers, administrative staff, mechanics and workmen, psychologists, economists and lawyers.
Recruitment procedure
Access to the different civilian careers varies according to the academic qualifications required and the specific field in question (master's degree, bachelor's degree, secondary education, technician's qualification, degree of professional ability (DAP), etc.).
Vacancies and conditions for recruitment are published regularly under Recruitment > job adverts and also on the GovJobs portal. The recruitment procedure for civilian Police personnel is the same as for other State civil service jobs (Conditions of admission and recruitment procedures for the State civil service). Applications are made via the MyGuichet platform and are centralised by the State Centre for Human Resources and Organisation Management (Centre de gestion et de l'organisation de l'Etat - CGPO).
