Special Constable (Testing Event)

Find out what you are capable of The truth is that we are all capable of far more than we know and becoming a special is one of the best ways to learn new transferable skills and develop untapped potential. You will face exciting challenges, acquire valuable skills that will assist in your personal and career development, and you can take pride in your achievements and bolster your self-respect and confidence.

See a different world Out on patrol, you will deal with situations and people you would probably never encounter in your day-to-day life. Most of all, you will get to see the real impact of crime on people's lives and the extraordinary power you have as an individual to make a real difference. Being a special is both exciting and rewarding and for many it is a life-changing decision. Whatever your plans, you will find working as a member of the wider police service, alongside regular officers of all ranks, police staff and other volunteers, an exciting and rewarding experience.

Make the streets safer Specials are rightly proud of the amazing work they do. Going out onto the streets to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour helps increase public safety and maintain community confidence. It makes neighbourhoods better places to live, it helps young people make positive choices in their lives and it helps specials become more confident and respected members of their communities.

Developing as a Special Once you have been trained and have practical experience you will be able to take on more responsibility as a Special. Training is available on an on-going basis and therefore, should you want to be promoted up the ranks, this is achievable as your experience and skills develop. This means that you will constantly be faced with new challenges and the opportunity to acquire new skills.
