**Additional Comments**

The Special Constabulary consists of Volunteer Police Officers who give up some of their spare time to assist with the policing of their community and increase the effectiveness of local police initiatives.
Special Constables are a vital part of the UK police service, helping to divert crime and interacting with the diverse communities that they serve.
Greater Manchester Police believe that ‘Specials’ are an integral part of our police family, and by working alongside regular Police Officers and Teams, they provide a flexible, visible, responsive, and committed resource.
As a Special Constable, you’ll be provided with full Training, Uniform, and Equipment, and have all the powers and authorities of a regular Police Officer. You will also receive out of pocket expenses.
GMP are looking for long-term Special Constables to join our current establishment, who are committed, motivated, flexible, have good interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to think on their feet in challenging situations.
We welcome individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds. Being a Special Constable allows you to bring along and transfer relevant skills, experience, and knowledge from your day job and/or previous life experience and give something back to the communities of Greater Manchester.
The Expectation
We ask our Specials to volunteer a minimum 16 hours of their time per month.
Training to be a Special Constable takes place over 10-12 weekends across a 3-month period, and Personal Safety Training over 8 consecutive weekdays (Mon-Fri and Mon-Wed).
