Police put out Special plea
CHESHIRE Constabulary is looking for community-minded people to join the force as special constables.
Those chosen for the voluntary positions will be rewarded with a ‘life enhancing’ experience, according to its recruitment appeal.
“Joining the Specials opens up a world of opportunities for personal and professional advancement,” the force’s online advert says.
Those interested in the position will be required to provide visible community policing to improve public confidence and reassurance.
They will conduct patrols on foot, cycle or police vehicle, in accordance with the force policy to provide community safety.
Specials assist in conducting investigations by gathering evidence from victims, witnesses and suspects.
They will provide care to victims and witnesses, ensuring the necessary care is provided in an ethical and empathic manner. ●
Special constables will also be required to complete administrative procedures and provide a force response recognising the needs of all communities.
The advert says that the Cheshire Special Constabulary welcomes applications from people of all walks of life and backgrounds.
Applicants must register their interest online before March 5 – the date may change if there is a high volume of applications.
