**About the role**:
As a Special Constable, you will work closely with regular officers to police local communities. You would have the same powers and wear the same uniform as a regular police officer; be given proper training for the role and gain a thorough grounding in many aspects of police work, before you are expected to carry out any police duties. Being a Special Constable is a challenging and rewarding role and we are looking for people who can empathise with others and listen to their needs.

As a Special Constable, you will take part in frontline police work either as a response & patrol or neighbourhoods officer. This could mean anything from keeping town centres safe at night, conducting house-to-house enquiries, helping prevent vulnerable members of the community from becoming victims of crime, patrolling in crime hotspots, or taking part in crime-prevention initiatives. It’s a role with the potential to send you home every shift with a tangible feeling of pride, knowing you’ve volunteered to make a real difference in the community you serve.

Being a Special Constable is a voluntary role. Special Constables are required to commit a minimum of 16 hours per month to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, this equates to 192 hours per year. These hours are usually worked alongside a regular shift.

Some people join the Constabulary to be a career Special Constable and others join as it opens up opportunities to develop skills and experience needed to serve in other roles such as a police officer. Whatever your reason for joining you will be part of the policing family and a valued member of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, an organisation that is committed to the wellbeing of all its officers, staff and volunteers.
