Requirements

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a good level of fitness
  • Pass the physical fitness test and a medical examination

Benefits

As a Special Constable, you will have the opportunity to contribute to something of real value, experience something unique, and develop new skills and knowledge.

To apply, you will be required to complete an application form. If you meet the initial eligibility criteria, you will be invited to take part in an online assessment process, then a fitness test. Following success at this stage, you will be invited to attend an interview.
