POLICE Scotland is hiring special constables and inviting would-be officers from Renfrewshire to meet with the force's recruitment team this month.
Officers from Police Scotland recruitment team will be at The Gathering 2016 - Scotland’s largest event for charities, social enterprises and voluntary organisations on Wednesday and Thursday, February 17 and 18, at Glasgow’s SECC.
A spokesperson said: “As a special constable with us, you’ll work alongside our police officers - forging strong partnerships in the community, patrolling our streets, preventing crime and interacting with all kinds of people to help keep local communities safe.”
Special constables operate across Renfrewshire, supporting police in the duties.
The role is diverse but demanding. You could be doing anything from policing a football match to assisting at a road accident. Special constables also police major sporting and public events and provide an excellent bridge between the Police Service and the public, representing both the community within the police service and the police service within local communities.
