Northern Constabulary is looking to recruit 24 new staff after the number of officers leaving turned out to be higher than it had expected.
The force, which is responsible for the Highlands, Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland, has committed to having 800 officers this year.
“Record levels”
Funding for the recruitment has come from a transfer of £1.6m of force resources from ‘back office’ departments.
Application forms can be downloaded from the force’s website. The current recruitment drive will end on June 18. So far 50 completed applications have been received.
The number of police officers patrolling communities in the Highlands and Islands reached record levels last year.
