Are you ready to bring your operational policing experience to a dynamic and specialised setting? The Port of Liverpool Police are recruiting Police Constables to join our high-visibility patrol team, safeguarding one of the UK’s most vital maritime gateways.
This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to apply your skills in a new context, develop professionally, and contribute meaningfully to national and international port security.
Your role
Working on a shift basis, you will conduct high-visibility patrols across the Port Estate, maintaining acute awareness of security threats and ISPS compliance, engaging positively with internal and external stakeholders to encourage intelligence sharing and support investigations.
Another key part of the role is the management of traffic flow throughout the port, ensuring safe passage for vehicles and rail freight in line with legislation. You will also respond to incidents professionally, reporting outcomes accurately to the control room, supervision, and the Chief Officer.
The role will also involve interviewing witnesses and suspects, gathering evidence, and preparing cases for prosecution and non-crime investigations.

Already one of the UK’s leading port and logistics companies, we are planning substantial capital investment over the next 5 years to achieve our vision of becoming the UK’s leading port operator. We have ambitious plans to grow and transform the supply chain to benefit our customers. Our investments are decarbonizing our operations, which in turn is helping us work towards our goal of having Net Zero Port Operations by 2040. Much of our success depends on our unrivalled facilities and technology. But in our sector, it comes down to having the right talent to enable our organisation to grow.
