Devon & Cornwall Police is currently recruiting Special Constables.

Special Constables are volunteers who help the police in their spare time, and after training have the same powers and similar duties as regular police officers.

They are involved in 'all aspects of policing'. This includes acting on emergency calls, investigating reported crimes, apprehending, arresting and interviewing suspects, collecting evidence at crime scenes, supporting victims, and more.

On 15 February there will be a virtual awareness event to find out more about the role and hear from serving Special Constables about what it's like.

How can I apply?

The window for applications closes at 11.55pm on Sunday 6 March.

Prospective Special Constables will need to be available for a minimum of 16 hours per month.
