Special constables are volunteer police officers who give their spare time to police their communities. This volunteer role gives you the chance to work alongside regular police officers and staff, bring your life skills and experiences and give something back to this beautiful part of the world.

It's not all glamorous, but it is rewarding. You'll need to be able to give at least 16 hours of your time each month. Once trained, you will have the same powers as a regular police officer helping to protect and support the people who live in Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

We're looking for honest, respectful, selfless and motivated people who want to do something worthwhile in their spare time. Could you be there in someone's time of need? If yes, then express your interest today via the Devon and Cornwall Police website!
