Could you be a Special Constable?

Can you give up 16 hours a month to help safeguard your community?

Dyfed Powys Police is looking for people who have a special quality and are willing to volunteer their time to join the force as Special Constables.

“We know that the best way to support a community and help resolve the issues that matter is by getting involved, understanding the people and the area, almost becoming one of the residents,” said Chief Constable Simon Prince. “We want to take this a step further, and we want local residents to help us by volunteering as a Special Constable.

“Traditionally, being a Special Constable has been seen as a path to becoming a regular officer or police community support officer. I still want that to happen, but I really want people from our rural villages and towns to step forward and offer to help us police their communities.”

Changes have been made to the training programme to make it more flexible and to make training more accessible to people wishing to join as a Special Constable. The training will include a series of formal learning days at the police headquarters and stations as well as online training.
