Bedfordshire - Neighbourhood Special Constable - Bedfordshire Police
Description
Neighbourhood Special Constable - Policing your town or village.
People join the Special Constabulary for many different reasons, many wanting to give something back to the community.
It allows them to learn new skills, see new things and make a tangible difference to the lives of the public they serve.
If you're 18 or over, and can commit to initial training, then you can help keep your community safe as a Special Constable.
Special Constables start their journey with a 15-week training course during evenings and weekends with training venues across Beds,Cambs and Herts where necessary, where they learn the basics of policing and work towards gaining their warrant card.
Once the course is completed, they will be awarded their warrant card by a senior member of the force in front of family and friends.
After that they will sign up to shifts and work alongside our regular officers to start working with the community and gain the essential practical policing skills.
Please be aware that there is a minimum requirement of
16 hours per month in this role after training
.
Once they have worked alongside officers on response and gained a better understanding of policing and achieving independent status (usually 12 months) they will be allocated to the neighbourhood team where they will be involved in helping implement warrants, closure orders, work with people in some of the worst moments of their lives and ultimately make Bedfordshire a safer place.
