Introduction
The Dorset Police Special Constabulary provides
invaluable support to their colleagues in the regular force. The
role they play is forever expanding as demands for Police Services
increase. The most vital role they fulfill is the high profile,
uniformed preventative patrol so often demanded by the community.
However they can be called upon to perform a wide range of duties
and their role can touch on all aspects of policing, including
working with the Safer Neighbourhood Teams to improve the quality
of life in our communities by working together to target those
issues identified by local people.
In Dorset the many facets of the Service - Regular Officers,
Police Staff, Volunteers and the Special Constabulary - work
together to provide the high quality service which makes Dorset
Safer and Feel Safer. All members of the Special Constabulary are
volunteers who give their free time to support Dorset Police and
the local community, and as such are highly valued members of the
force.
The recruitment process for Special Constables is changing. Full
details of the new process will appear here soon. If you
