People mainly join the Specials because of an interest in helping their local community, but also because they are interested in police work, or want to find out more about policing. What makes Special Constables special is that they are all people like you who want to do something positive for themselves and their community and who can give some of their spare time to achieve this.

Volunteers for the Special Constabulary come from all walks of life. You may be at home, or bringing up a family, or in full or part-time employment as a teacher, a taxi-driver, an accountant, a photographer or in any one of a wide variety of jobs.
