But why?
It’s a question often asked of those who choose to volunteer their time in policing for free.
What motivates someone to give up evenings, weekends and time with family to support their community in such a demanding role?

Check out his video below and if you're feeling inspired, head to the Volunteers | Warwickshire Police section of our website to see what other opportunities are available.
