Become a Special Constable and support your community

Do you have 16 hours a week of spare time? Want to provide support to your community? Have you thought about becoming a Special Constable? 

Devon & Cornwall Police are currently recruiting Special Constables and we are looking for people to join us within the Truro Community. 

A Special Constable is a volunteer police officer that gives their time to support their local community. 

Our officers have the same powers as a regular, paid officer and receive the same standard of training. 

Our officers take part in a range of activities including: 

• Supporting community events and activities
• Responding to 999 and emergency calls for service from the public
• Carrying out checks of vehicles being driven on a road
• Supporting victims and witnesses.
   

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Gain valuable training and new skills
• Build confidence and enhance your career prospects
• Make a positive difference to your community.

You don’t need any previous experience – we’ll give you full training and plenty of support. What you do need is commitment, a sense of community, and a willingness to step up and help keep your community safe. 

We are offering those who might be interested in the role an opportunity to spend a shift with us by carrying out a ride along and join us on duty to see exactly what we get up to. 

Interested? Want to find out more? Head to: https://dc.police.uk/specials to find out more or reply to this message and we will get back to you asap. Alternatively pop us an email at mailto: dcpspecialconstabulary-westcornwall@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk.

Many thanks
