NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Police has contacted us to see if any Apethorpe villagers are interested in being a Special Constable.
If you've always fancied getting to grips with criminals and doing your bit for the county, then now's your chance, so read on:
Northants Police currently has over 180 Volunteer Police Officers (Special Constables), all of which contribute to keeping your community safe and “making the difference” within it.
Special Constables are involved in a very diverse mixture of police work, a typical shift can involve crewing up with another Special or Regular Officer, and responding to calls from the public when they come in. This could be anything form anti-social behaviour to a serious assault! You may find that a large amount of your time will be spent carrying out proactive high visibility patrols in your area. This is of course very important as it improves public confidence and can deter crime before it happens.
Special Constables are often called upon to support specific operations across the force. This can present you with a number of exciting opportunities as you could be involved in, plain clothes work, intelligence gathering and executing search warrants, to name but a few.
Becoming a Special Constable is ideal for those who want to help their local Police Officers and PCSO’s and put something back in to their community.
It is also an ideal position for those who wish to become full-time Police Officers to gain excellent experience and life skills to aid them in applying.
