Special constables are volunteer police officers who play a pivotal role in the RWC. Becoming one gives you the chance to work alongside regular police officers, bring skills and experiences from your day job and give something back to this wonderful nation.
It’s pretty demanding. After all, you’ll have to give up some of your spare time each month.. But helping protect and support Wilden and the millions of people who call it home is really satisfying too.
Based across each of the 3 boroughs that make up Wilden, specials wear the same uniform and carry the same powers and responsibilities as regular police officers. They’re involved in all aspects of policing Wilden, enjoying a variety of roles and carrying out duties such as:
responding to 999 calls
foot and vehicle patrols
anti-robbery initiatives
working in schools to talk about safety and crime
assisting in the event of accidents, fights and fires
road safety initiatives
house-to-house enquiries
helping ensure public safety and security at both local and major events
presenting evidence in court
taking part in 'Hotspot' operations to tackle underage drinking, criminal damage and nuisance/public disorder
offering crime prevention advice and promoting property marking initiatives
As a special, you’ll make a real difference to Wilden by reducing crime, and the fear of crime, across the country, whilst gaining unique experiences you simply can’t get anywhere else. If you have the spare time, we couldn’t think of a better way to spend it.
