- Special Constable Summer 2022 Recruitment Campaign

If you are passionate about serving your community, preventing and detecting crime, supporting victims and dealing with suspects, policing could be just the career for you.

As a Special Constable, you will make difficult decisions every day. You will need empathy, common sense and compassion, as well as a desire to make a difference. It’s challenging, but hugely rewarding – and no two days are the same.

Being a special constable means investigating crimes, dealing with violence or public order incidents, helping to find missing persons, attending the scenes of road traffic collisions and many other incidents that regular officers are involved in.

Whatever you do as a special, you will helping victims of crime and the vulnerable and helping to keep Wiltshire one of the safest places to live.
