WORCESTERSHIRE will benefit from new special constables joining patrol and safer neighbourhood team colleagues for the first time. Special constables are voluntary, part-time police officers who work in some of the most important areas of modern policing. The new intake includes six special constables to be based in Shrewsbury, six in Telford and one in Oswestry. Malvern has three new Special Constables, with two each in Droitwich and Worcester, while Redditch, Hereford, Evesham and Kidderminster also welcome new Specials. They have full police powers and wear a police uniform, and their duties are the same as regular officers, such as foot and vehicle patrols, roads policing, investigating crime, arresting suspects, taking statements from witnesses and tackling local issues, such as anti-social behaviour and harassment.
