The policing landscape is undergoing very substantial change – including significant financial constraint, and the need to focus on major and emerging threats – cyber- crime, organised crime, Child Sexual Exploitation and terrorism, to name just a few. It is therefore a good time to invite Forces to challenge the way in which we have traditionally engaged with the Special Constabulary, and to look at new ways to encourage Specials to be involved in policing in its widest sense. I feel proud to lead on behalf of National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) WELCOME for Citizens in Policing across Wales.

  • Employer Supported Policing
    INTRODUCTION TO Employer Supported Policing for the Special Constabulary & Police Support Volunteers What is Employer Supported Policing? It is a partnership benefitting employers, their staff and the police service by releasing Special Constables and Police Support Volunteers to volunteer in the communities they serve. Organisations can promote Employer Supported Policing by actively encouraging their staff to volunteer as a Special Constable or Police Support Volunteer. GMP Supported Employees Greater Manchester Police give 10 days additional paid leave for their staff who are Special Constables for volunteer duty, plus a minimum of 3 days for training. They also give 3 days additional paid leave for their staff who are Police Support Volunteer. “Employer “I believe the Supported Policing benefits for is an effective employers are and powerful way well in excess of for businesses to the investment invest in their made. people as well By supporting as their local communities. staff to volunteer in policing, Police volunteers can help employers can help keep their reduce crime and make communities safe and at the communities feel safer” same time help their employees learn valuable Chief Constable Dave Jones skills” NPCC National Lead for Citizens in Policing Rt Hon Brandon Lewis MP The Employer Supported Policing Scheme Explained How can my organisation be involved?

  • Exploring the Police Support Volunteer Experience: Findings from a National Survey
    Exploring the Police Support Volunteer Experience: Findings from a National Survey Matthew Callender1*, Melissa Pepper2, Kathryn Cahalin1, Iain Britton1 1 Institute for Public Safety, Crime and Justice, University of Northampton, UK 2 Department of Sociology, University of Surrey, UK * Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Telephone: 01604 89 3304 Address: Institute of Public Safety, Crime and Justice, University of Northampton, Boughton Green Road, Northampton, NN2 7AL Exploring the Police Support Volunteer Experience: Findings from a National Survey There are an estimated 8,000 Police Support Volunteers (PSVs) in England and Wales, contributing around 650,000 hours each year to an expanding variety of tasks to support their local constabularies. Despite this, the evidence base around the experiences of being a PSV is remarkably limited. Drawing on findings from the first national survey of police volunteers in England and Wales, undertaken in early 2016 with just over 1,000 PSV responses, this article explores key factors that are associated with the overall experience of being a PSV pointing towards the significance of management, support, supervision, connection, contribution and development on volunteer morale. The article sets these findings within the strategic context of future developments for PSVs, considers practical actions for improving volunteer experience, and highlights the importance of further research into being a volunteer in policing. Keywords: Police Support Volunteers; national survey; experience; morale; strategy. Introduction Citizens have assumed a prominent role in the delivery of policing since before the development of organised law enforcement, with the Special Constabulary having deep historical roots (Bullock 2014, Gill and Mawby 1990, Emsley 1996).
