From day one at EMSOU, I’ve felt welcomed and supported. The team is incredibly patient, kind and respectful. Their dedication and professionalism make coming to work a privilege. We celebrate each other’s successes and support one another through challenges, especially given the high-risk nature of our work. It’s refreshing to see genuine interest from senior leaders and appreciation at all levels. I encourage others to consider a career here. EMSOU is truly welcoming, supportive, enthusiastic, and professional.

“Counter Terrorism always intrigued me. It’s a role that connects you with regional and national stakeholders and lets you contribute to reducing threats to the UK. The most rewarding part is working with intelligence that leads to arrests or convictions, knowing you’ve helped make the country safer. At Counter Terrorism Policing East Midlands, small teams mean strong collaboration and insight across areas. It’s not a typical 9–5 job - sometimes you’re at an airport or seaport, which keeps things interesting!”
