Special constables are volunteer police officers. They have the same police powers, uniforms and equipment as regular police officers but give up their free time on a voluntary basis, balancing their busy personal lives, family, day jobs and other commitments around police duties. They do not get paid but are reimbursed for expenses.
A special constable in North Wales is someone who will be valued, supported and integrated into the wider policing family. They’re someone who will learn new skills, see new things and make real differences to the lives of the public they proudly serve. A special constable in North Wales is someone who makes new friends, sees life from new perspectives and upholds the law. A special constable is someone who is proud to serve their community.
