As a special, you perform police duties under the supervision of regular officers and experienced specials. You will take on a diverse range of roles including:

Becoming a special is a great way for you to make a difference in your community. At the same time you can develop your personal skills and experiences.
We offer an excellent training programme and mentoring scheme that will help you build knowledge and confidence. We will help you achieve all your personal goals as a special.
