*Role Description
Are you interested in becoming a volunteer with Police Scotland?
With a long and impressive history. The special constable role is a part-time, volunteer opportunity where members of the public can maximise their spare time supporting their communities. Not only will you support the vision of Police Scotland for safer communities, less crime, and supporting victims. You will be joining a thriving workforce which may offer opportunities for a new career.

As a special constable, you will be given identical powers to that of a police officer, who you will work alongside and at times that best suit you.

If you are interested in volunteering up to 96 hours per year, learning new skills, forging strong partnerships in the community, preventing crime, and making a real difference in the community you love, then this is the role for you.

Our special constables come from all walks of life including professionals, parents, teachers, students, and from sectors such as retail, transport, finance, engineering, and many, many more.

*Training provided
Full training will be provided to support our colleagues on the street safely. Initially, 7 consecutive days will be required to attend one of our training centres for your basic training and this will be supported by further online training sessions. This training is currently being delivered by our national learning and training department.

*How to apply
Police Scotland is a disability confident employer where we are committed to equal opportunities for people with disabilities, and for those who live with a neurodiverse condition, such as dyslexia or ADHD.

If you are over 18 years old, physically fit, have lived in the United Kingdom for a minimum of three years at the point of application. You could already have the skills we need.
