Special Constables

Being a Special Constable is something pretty unique and the rewards are as exceptional as the opportunity itself.

Firstly, you’ll have the satisfaction of helping a huge range of people in situations demanding anything from reassurance to intervention.

You’ll also get to broaden your social and networking circles, as the role will bring you into contact with people from different walks of life both within and outside the organisation.

Then there are the new skills you’ll learn, and the insight that exposure to the spectrum of policing activities will bring you. It’ll develop you personally and professionally, and prepare you for whatever else life throws your way.

It’s also an exceptional opportunity to undertake a task that’s different from your 9-5 role. The skills learnt here are going to increase your employability too – in today’s climate, resourcefulness, confidence and communication skills make a key difference to businesses, so it could help you change career, gain promotion and go much, much further.

Lastly it’s the experience, pure and simple.

However you decide to make the role your own, you’ll find it could lead a variety of ways. Perhaps you’ll apply to join us a regular Police Officer, or investigate opportunities in a specialist police area. Or maybe you’ll continue to balance the role with your other commitments, bringing these new skills to the other areas of your life.

Either way, there’s no other volunteering opportunity like it,  and the rewards will be with you for a lifetime.
