Understanding the role
Special Constables are volunteer Police Officers who play in important role in our mission to keep people safe and fight crime. By doing more with your free time, you can make a real difference to the place you call home.
It’s much more than patrolling the streets, you’ll have the same powers as a regular police officer and will encounter circumstances that you will not previously have been exposed to.
We’re looking for individuals from all backgrounds to become a Special Constable. You’ll need to earn trust, gain respect and build positive relationships within your local community.
The best way to understand what’s involved in being an officer at #TeamNP is to join one of our online information events.
