Once you have been recruited as a special constable, you will work towards achieving the ‘Special Constables Learning Programme’ (SCLP), which is part of the Policing Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF). The training you receive meets the learning outcomes of the PEQF, set out by the College of Policing.
This programme is compulsory for all new recruits. It is phased and consists of both classroom and operational training, where you will obtain valuable practical experience, which will prepare you for the role of a special constable, gaining an incredible wealth of skills, confidence and experience.
During your training you will be coached on how to risk assess situations which you may encounter as a special constable.
