Welcome To The Specials Section

The Special Constabulary is the United Kingdom's part-time police force. It is made up of volunteer members of the public who when on duty wear a uniform and have full police powers. There are over 12,000 Specials serving with police forces across the UK.

Police Specials, on average make up 25% of each force strength. Every day Specials carry out duties alongside their regular colleagues. Amazing to think that they were once confined to the garden show cordon!

This section of PoliceUK is dedicated to those who put on that uniform, face the same risks as their regular colleagues and for absolutely nothing in return!
