Special Transferee

Transfer to Durham Constabulary as a Special Constable

Looking for more than just a badge? Find it in Durham.

We’re now inviting Special Constables from across the UK to transfer into Durham Constabulary—a force where you’re not a bystander, your part of the frontline.

Whether you’re a Constable, Section Officer, Sergeant or Inspector, we want to recognise your rank, skills and experience wherever possible. Because here, what you bring counts.

Why Transfer to Durham?

Our Special Constabulary is not tucked away on the sidelines—it’s embedded, respected, and actively policing on the frontline.

We don’t just give you a uniform and a thank you. We give you the training, tools and opportunities to lead, support and serve—shoulder to shoulder with regular colleagues.

When someone dials 999, they don’t ask whether the help is paid or voluntary.

They ask for someone who cares.

That could be you.

What We Offer:

Retention of your current rank, subject to local assessment

Access to Taser training for eligible officers

Advanced driving and TPAC training available for suitable candidates

Deployment in response, neighbourhoods, roads policing, public order, and more

Ongoing development, mentoring and leadership pathways

Uniform, equipment and welfare support equal to that of regulars

A force culture where Specials are truly part of the team

Mileage expenses up to 10 miles from our force border.

Who We’re Looking For:

Operational Special Constables with experience

Officers who are committed to community policing and professional standards

Volunteers with the drive to dig deep, learn fast and lead from the front

People who want more from their policing journey—and are ready to give more too
