Those committed to taking on this exciting and rewarding role will need to complete a minimum of 200 hours annually, equating to 4 hours per week. This includes time spent performing duty and undertaking training.  However, you will get most benefit if you are able to work a full 8-12 hour shift with your regular officer colleagues.
You can also get the best from your volunteering by working our peak times of evenings/nights, weekends, bank holidays and key events in the sporting calendar. Becoming a volunteer Special Constable is a commitment and it’s important that you consider how this will fit into your work, family and social life.
