About Greenland Police

Greenland Police employs approximately 430 staff, of which about 190 are police-trained.

Salary and employment conditions

Currently, there is work underway to align the salary and employment conditions for civil servants in Greenland with those for civil servants in Denmark and the Faroe Islands. Therefore, changes in employment conditions may occur from April 1, 2026, onwards.

Salary and employment conditions are determined based on your education and qualifications according to the relevant collective agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the negotiating organization.

The working hours are 40 hours a week, and the position is permanent.

You will be employed with a workplace in Qaanaaq. Since Greenland Police serves all of Greenland, travel activity may occur.

An unfurnished staff housing may be provided for the position. You will cover your own expenses for deposit, rent, and other ongoing housing costs. The size of the housing depends on the size of the household.

If you reside outside of Qaanaaq, and there is a waiting period for staff housing, a furnished vacant housing may be made available during the waiting period. If there is also a waiting period for a vacant housing, there may be a short-term accommodation in a hotel.

Free relocation of personal belongings and travel expenses for you and your household will be provided according to the applicable rules at any given time.

It is a prerequisite for employment that you can be security cleared at the necessary level for the position. You may also be required to perform functions that require a higher security clearance. Employment in the police and in the prosecution authority requires that you can maintain the required security clearance at all times.

Greenland Police has implemented smoke and nicotine-free working hours.
