An advert for the £117,000-a-year job tells potential applicants to send a selfie photograph in order to receive an application pack, reports the Hull Daily Mail.

Chief Constable at Humberside Police, Justine Curran, says the unusual idea has come about because it is “vital” candidates show they can operate modern technology.
