Isles of Scilly Police job attracts global interest

A job advert for a vacant police constable role on the Isles of Scilly got more attention than expected when it received applications from all over the globe.

The post went viral as people from as far as Thailand, the US and Australia responded to the advert that was described as “quite possibly the most enviable policing post in the UK or even the world” on the force’s Facebook page.

The post tempted to entice an individual who possessed an “unflinching confidence to know what to do when you are alerted to an abandoned seal pup making its way up the main street.”
