Interested in becoming a Custody Detention Officer? 

 

Hello Resident

 

Custody Detention Officers (CDO’s) play a vital role in assisting with the secure detention, care and welfare of detained persons and their property. 

They support the safe operations of South Wales Police’s four operational custody suites: Cardiff Bay, Merthyr Tydfil, Bridgend and Swansea.

It is the role of a CDO to support the Custody Officer in providing a safe custody environment and ensure the rights and entitlements of people detained are protected.

CDOs are required to work 24/7 shifts, including Bank Holidays and Weekends. 

South Wales Police recognises the importance and significance of having a diverse workforce to help enhance the capability and capacity of delivering a high-quality performance for our diverse communities, and to meet the Force’s ambition to be the best at understanding and responding to our communities’ needs.

The SWP Positive Action team can support all candidate’s from minority ethnic communities and will provide support throughout the process and answer any queries.  The team is available on the below email.
