Thinking about becoming a Special Constable but not sure what the role actually looks like?đźš”
Here are the questions most people ask — and the answers that help them decide:
🔹 What does a typical shift involve?
Most Specials work alongside regular officers, attending real incidents — from missing people to neighbourhood patrols to supporting vulnerable individuals.
🔹 Will I be doing the same things as full time officers?
Yes. Specials hold full police powers once trained, meaning you’re trusted with real responsibility.
🔹 How much training do I get before going out on shift?
Training is structured, supportive, and designed to build confidence step by step — no one is thrown in at the deep end.
If you’re curious about the reality of the role, that’s the perfect place to start.
Join us for a relaxed and friendly online Special Constable Q&A information session, where you'll have the opportunity to speak directly with one of our Citizens in Policing Liaison Officers.
There’s no pressure—just honest conversations and helpful advice from people who understand the role.
