Volunteers

Key members of our policing family, Police Support Volunteers offer valuable assistance to officers and staff throughout the force. We encourage community-minded individuals to volunteer and utilise their skills, experience, and knowledge to support our work.

Volunteering benefits both the individual and the organisation. Volunteers typically feel valued, boosting their confidence and self-esteem by making a difference in the local community. You can develop and enhance various skills while contributing to your CV.

Volunteer opportunities are diverse, ranging from multi-faith Chaplains offering pastoral support, to Cadet Leaders supporting the Police Cadet Scheme. Neighbourhood and Crime Prevention volunteers, along with the popular Police Puppy Socialisers, provide numerous ways to get involved.

Our volunteers, aged 16 and above, come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Those aged 16 and 17 require parental or guardian permission. We cover out-of-pocket expenses, and there’s no minimum hours commitment. A role supervisor ensures necessary training, support, and integration into the team while looking after your welfare.
