The 'Specials', as they are often known, serve as voluntary officers, under the command of regular senior officers and have their own rank structure.

Specials have the same powers as regular officers, they wear an almost identical uniform, carry the same equipment and receive exactly the same training as regular officers.

They make a significant contribution to policing in their county, by performing a huge variety of roles to support regular officers. They carry out core day-to-day policing duties such as foot patrols or responding to reports of missing people, and also train to work within specialist policing teams such as roads policing, protecting vulnerable people or community partnership teams.

Specials spend around four hours a week, or more, supporting the police to tackle crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour and to build relationships with communities. They must complete at least 16 hours of service per month, which are arranged flexibly, according to personal and work commitments.

Specials are supported by dedicated teams within each force, who will encourage volunteers to put in enough hours to ensure their confidence, skills and experience grows.

This opportunity is closed to applications.
