COULD YOU BE SPECIAL?

Hello !

Much planned for this weekend? If the answer is no, how about joining us here at North Yorkshire Police.

We're currently recruiting Special Constables.

Special Constables are volunteer police officers who play a vital role in our aim to make North Yorkshire a safe place to be.

Specials-as they are known - carry the same power, wear the same uniform, and have the responsibilities as regular (paid) police officers but on a volunteer part-time basis.

By investing your free time, you can make a real difference to the communities of North Yorkshire. You'll have the same powers as a regular police constable and will feel a tremendous amount of pride from giving back to the community.

Those committed to taking on this exciting and rewarding role will need to complete a minimum of 16 hours per month.

As a Special Constable you could be involved in any of the following.

working within communities to tackle anti-social behaviour

responding to 999 and 101 calls

foot and vehicle patrols

road safety initiatives

house-to-house enquiries

helping ensure public safety and security at both local and major events

presenting evidence in court

offering crime prevention advice and promoting property marking initiatives

Currently our Special Constables work within many areas of North Yorkshire Police including local community NPT (Neighbourhood policing teams), with our roads policing team and 999 response teams across the county.
