What is a special Constable? West Midlands Police Special Constabulary: ‘Specials’ work alongside regular officers and Police Community Support Officers in many policing teams and are expected to commit an average of 16 hours service per month. Despite being volunteers, Special Constables have the same powers of a police officer. Our Special Constables are involved in carrying out duties like responding to 999 calls, patrolling our local communities, road safety initiatives, helping ensure public safety and security at local and major events, as well as working in some of our specialist departments, such as Roads Policing, Public Protection, Operations and Force CID as investigators or specially trained volunteer officers. Our Special Constables are integral members of our volunteering family. Specials wear the police uniform and have fully warranted powers
