Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary is recruiting volunteer special constables with full police powers.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary is inviting residents to consider volunteering as special constables. Special constables are trained volunteers who work alongside regular officers with the same police powers to help protect and serve communities.

A recruitment event will take place on Saturday, October 17, at The Stripe Building on the University of Winchester's King Alfred Campus. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the team and learn first-hand what the role involves.

Special Superintendent Russell Morrison said many people do not realise that everyday skills used at work, at home or through hobbies and volunteering could make them excellent special constables. He described the Special Constabulary as offering 'a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, learn new skills and support your community in a way that's rewarding and genuinely impactful'. The force welcomes anyone curious to explore whether becoming a special constable could be right for them.
