Youth experience with the police

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:

West Cornwall

7 July - 11 July 2025. At capacity. No further places available

East Cornwall

30 June - 4 July 2025. At capacity. No further places available

Plymouth

30 June - 4 July 2025. At capacity. No further places available

South Devon

14 July - 18 July 2025. At capacity. No further places available

North and West Devon

Starting next year

Exeter and East Devon

30 June - 04 July 2025. At capacity. No further places available

Now that all places have been taken, we will only be accepting students to be added to our waiting list in case of any accepted students dropping out.

If you have any questions please email the our youth team.

We will be notifying students shortly 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.
