Special Constable

**The cohort will commence on the 14 August 2023 for a 7 week period, Monday to Friday (9-5).**

**If you’re looking for an exciting new challenge and a unique volunteering experience, look no further.**

Leicestershire Police Specials are volunteer Police Officers with the same powers as regular officers and typically spend around four hours a week, or more, working alongside and supporting regular officers to play a pivotal role in helping police Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Becoming one gives you the chance to work alongside regular police officers, bring skills and experiences from your day job and give something back to your local community.

As a special, the demands are ever changing, and the role is just as much about supporting victims, providing reassurance and building relationships as it is about flashing lights and handcuffs. You could make a valuable contribution to your community, while also developing your skills and learning to think on your feet.

Our community is incredibly diverse, so we should be, too. That’s why we’re working hard to build an inclusive workforce, where you can be yourself. Whoever you are. Wherever you’re from. We are currently under-represented in a number of areas and recognise that this message needs to reach talented individuals who can add diverse skills and experiences to our organisation.
