“Ever thought of joining our #SuffolkSpecialConstabulary?

The special constabulary is a force of trained volunteers who work with and support their local police. 'Specials', as special constables are known, come from all walks of life - they are teachers, taxi drivers, accountants and secretaries, or any number of other careers - and they all volunteer a minimum of four hours a week to their local police force, forming a vital link between the regular (full-time) police and the local community.

Once they have completed their training, they have the same powers as regular officers and wear a similar uniform.

Our next recruitment event in the #Halesworth policing area will be on the 26th of January 2019 at the Rifle Hall, London Road, Halesworth IP19 8LR between 10am & 1pm. It's a chance to come along & speak with serving Special Constabualry Officers as well as 'regular' colleagues.
