It's hoped a new campaign by Lincolnshire Police will get more people people from the East of the county, anybody with second language skills and members of the BAME community on the force.
The recruitment drive's being launched to try and improve diversity.
A new Detective Constable Fast Track scheme has also been created to help successful applicants with a desire to be detectives develop key skills for these roles.
Throughout the eight-week campaign the force will be releasing a series of promotional videos on social media.
A number of community events and online Q&A sessions will also take place.
Jason Thomas ran into an uncomfortable situation when telling someone he wanted to sign up to the force.
DI Lee St Quinton of Lincolnshire Police’s Horizons 2023 Programme said: “As part of the national uplift which will see 20,000 extra police officers on our streets, we are really pleased to be able to continue with our recruitment of new officers into the force."
Rachel Betts, Head of HR for Lincolnshire police added: “There will be a lot of people in Lincolnshire with skills they have gained in their current or previous jobs that would make them excellent candidates, who may not have previously considered a career within the police service."
