THIS IS MY COMMUNITY.
THIS IS MY BEAT.
RICHARD
GAMEKEEPER AND SPECIAL CONSTABLE
“ I wanted to be more active in the rural community. When it comes to Special Constables it really is a case of the more you put in, the more you get out. You can give as much time as you like, and 16 hours is enough time to make a difference.”
Become a Special like Richard, and you’ ll work alongside regular Police Officers doing everything regular Police Officers do. Patrolling the streets. Helping the public. Attending crime scenes. Arresting people. Above all, you’ ll provide a reassuring presence in your local area and help keep Hertfordshire safe.
So if you want to play a greater role in your community, you don’ t need to change jobs. You just need to be aged 18 or over, able to commit to the initial training required and willing to give up at least 16 hours of your free time a month.
