MORE than 900 people applied to become police officers during a recent recruitment campaign.
Humberside Police are trying to recruit 400 new officers by the end of the year, and said 680 of the 908 who applied in the most recent round of recruitment were eligible and would go through to the next stage.
Sarah Wilson, head of human resources, said: "Following the appointment of Chief Constable Lee Freeman in June 2017, we have run four recruitment campaigns for the opportunity to join us as a police officer. This is unprecedented for the force.
"We are enormously proud of the public service we deliver to the communities of the Humberside force area and very much look forward to progressing these applicants through the recruitment process and supporting them as they make their journey into policing."
