Special Constables
(asked on 26th June 2014) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, in the light of the recent award to Kent Police Special Constabulary of the Queens Award for Voluntary Service, whether there are any steps being taken nationally to encourage membership of the Special Constabulary.
This question was answered on 2nd July 2014
The Special Constabulary is an integral part of policing.
Individual police forces are responsible for determining their own recruitment requirements in order to meet local policing needs. In line with the Government's commitment to increase the number of volunteers, the Home Office continues to support the development of the Special Constabulary in England and Wales.
