Cambridgeshire Constabulary are currently recruiting special constables, who provide vital support to a whole range of policing activities.  They say:

“Special Constables are volunteer police officers who play a vital role in Cambridgeshire
Constabulary. You will get the chance to work alongside regular police officers, using skills and experiences from your day job to give something back to the community.

It’s demanding. After all, you’ll have to give up at least 16 hours of your spare time each month. But helping to protect and support Cambridgeshire and the people who live, work and visit here is really satisfying too.

Being flexible is essential as we cover all of the cities, towns and villages. Specials wear the same uniform and carry the same powers and responsibilities as regular police officers. They’re involved in all aspects of policing Cambridgeshire, enjoying a variety of roles and duties such as:

• Foot and vehicle patrols
• Roads policing
• Assisting in the event of accidents, fights and fires
• Road safety initiatives
• Rural crime Initiatives
• House-to-house enquiries
• Plain clothes enquiries
• Public safeguarding
• Helping ensure public safety and security at both local and major events
• Presenting evidence in court

As a Special, you’ll make a real difference and gain unique experiences, you simply can’t get anywhere else. If this sounds like something you could do then why not visit our website?”
