Could you be a special constable with Devon and Cornwall Police?

Devon and Cornwall Police are open for recruitment of Special Constables - volunteer police officers with the same powers as full time police officers.

Special Constables, Devon and Cornwall Police's volunteer police officers, give a minimum of 16 hours a month, undergo dedicated training and development, and have the same powers as regular police officers.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said special constables "get a real feeling of achievement from helping others while supporting regular officers and contributing to the local community". 

There is an online awareness event taking place on Thursday, 22 May, and you can find out more and sign up to take part on the website. 

This round of recruitment is open until Sunday, 29 May.
