Even though they’re volunteers, Specials have the same powers as regular Police Constables, the same uniform, the same equipment and the same training.

You’ll need to think about time, pressure, understanding, dedication and fjtness Whether or not to become a Special Constable needs a great deal of consideration.

SLIDE 16 Volunteering as a Special can provide a range of opportunities for you to learn more.

Personal development

Specialist training in things like Personal Safety, Unarmed Defence and First Aid. Continuous professional development in fjelds such as Mental Health, Modern Slavery and Vulnerability Training. Knowledge gained via attachments to specialist units dealing with Cyber Fraud, Roads Policing, Rural Crime and more. Next An introduction to Employer Supported Policing An introduction to Employer Supported Policing

All of which will help you to be more adaptable and resilient, and better prepared to handle diffjcult situations. These types of skills, which will almost certainly increase your confjdence, could also help with career progression and prove useful in your day-to-day life too.

A chance to build

n your skills

What’s it like being a Special?

We asked a volunteer to tell us how a typical day as a Special might turn out. To start with there’s a handover from the stafg who were on the previous shift, and a briefjng

n the activities that are planned.

We get assigned a vehicle and then go out on patrol, assisting in searches for wanted people and stolen items. This can mean attending burglaries, assaults, drug raids and domestic violence incidents. There may be some admin duties, like gathering information, creating arrest folders and helping with warrants. Sometimes we might get to be involved (as a passenger) in blue-light rapid response situations – pursuing vehicles that are stolen

r have failed to

stop. We may also be asked to provide a presence at community events such as festivals and fjreworks displays. The shift always fjnishes with a debriefjng. An introduction to Employer Supported Policing An introduction to Employer Supported Policing

Do you fjt the bill

?

Police forces should be refmective of the communities they serve, and so they need to have a diverse workforce. To help achieve this they have an inclusive recruitment policy that welcomes people from all backgrounds. Many forces are particularly keen to fjnd people with language skills that will help improve communication with the local community. An introduction to Employer Supported Policing An introduction to Employer Supported Policing

SLIDE 45

The commitment to volunteering in policing is signifjcant

The Employee’s Story

“I joined Lancashire Special Constabulary because I wanted the opportunity to be able to give back to my community. Juggling my volunteer and paid role can be tricky at times, however Tesco are really fmexible with my shifts to enable me to combine both duties. They ofger 5 additional paid leave days per year under the Employer Supported Policing scheme, which really helps towards fulfjlling my role as a volunteer police offjcer in the community. I really enjoy engaging with difgerent members

f the community, and it gives me a lot of

satisfaction to be able to attend a variety of incidents to help problem solve community

issues. I have developed skills such as

resilience, team work and communication skills, all of which are transferable back into my paid workplace.” Matthew Customer Assistant Tesco, Burnley Tesco has 72 Special Constables that are Employer Supported In 2017 Tesco contributed 1044 hours to policing in local communities via ESP Tesco give 5 days’ additional leave per year for Special Constables to volunteer An introduction to Employer Supported Policing An introduction to Employer Supported Policing
