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!
Specials Duties include ...
Routine Patrols
Nuisance Patrols
Special Ops
Neighbourhood duties

Routine patrol
Foot patrol and patrolling in a vehicle will normally take up over half
of your duty times in the Specials. Patrol work is important, helping
to provide a police presence and act as a deterrent to would-be offenders
Divisions, can at times be very short staffed especially at the weekends
and this is when you will be needed. Either acting as a regular patrol
or working in the public order van ready to respond to your areas incidents.
