Invitation to Special Constabulary information events

New volunteers are actively being sought to join the ranks of Suffolk's Special Constabulary.

Becoming a Special Constable is a positive opportunity to develop existing skills or to learn new ones, give something back to your local community and become a part of a diverse organisation that fights crime in the county. It is also a good way to try police work if you are considering a career as a full time officer.
