People become a Special Constable for many different reasons. Some want to develop their skills and life experiences, others want to give something back to their community, and some are looking for a challenge outside of their day-to-day life.

Special Constables work on a voluntary basis at the front-line of policing and the criminal justice system. Working in partnership with local communities, stakeholders, and colleagues they promote law and order, reduce the fear of crime, provide reassurance, and build confidence to improve the quality of life for citizens.

Becoming a volunteer police officer opens up a world of opportunity for professional and personal development. Undergoing the training and then performing the role is rewarding and can provide a welcome break from day-to-day life.

Although you won't be paid, your training and duties will give you unique experiences, new and valuable skills, plus a tremendous sense of achievement of doing something worthwhile for your community. We pay expenses so you will not be out of pocket for giving your time to us.

The requirement is 4 hours a week/16 hours a month and these hours are flexible to fit in with your work and home life.

Please review the Role Profile attached to this advert for full details about the role. We have also attached a copy of the training dates you will be required to complete, if joining in August 2024.
