Special Constables are ordinary
people who dedicate some of their spare time towards helping to
keep our community a safe place to live.
Special Constables are valued members of the Constabulary who
provide a vital link between the police and community. They play an
active role in the policing of Suffolk.
What Do We
Need?
You must be a minimum of 18 years

enough to make a difference.

need to be able to give a minimum of eight hours a month to the
Special Constabulary.
· A further commitment of two-and-a-half-hours training per

Where do we have
vacancies for Specials?
We are
currently recruiting Specials in most areas of Suffolk. However,
for the time being, we are unable to take applications for those
who wish to serve in Ipswich, Felixstowe, Capel St Mary and
Woodbridge. This is only a temporary measure and will change in the
future. Keep an eye on this section of the website for future
updates.
Please bear in mind that the only
way in which you can pick up an application pack to join the
Specials is to attend one of our advertised Information Evenings.
Please go this section of our website for details of forthcoming
events.
