The Special Constabulary are a group of people who have volunteered to work with full time Police Officers.

Special Constables work alongside Police Officers and help the full-time officers solve local policing problems. They may go on patrol with Police Officers and will often attend events, like football matches, where a large number of people in uniform are needed to make sure the public are kept safe.

Just like full time Police Officers, Special Constables can work during the day or night. The hours that a 'Special' works will depend upon what else they do during the day. Many Specials have full time jobs as well as volunteering to work with the Police.
