My ex was a special, he got paid petrol money from home to the station, that was it.
In our force you have to do a minimum of 100 hours a year in total but 200 hours the first year which includes your training. Lots of pros and cons to this job but I wont clutter up your thread with them. Good luck ![]() |

I'd speak to my cousin about it but he works incredible hours a week so is hard to get hold of. |

Pros:
- life experience - good reference for jobs - foot in the door to become a regular PC - good grounding for confidence building etc - free rail travel to certain areas - police powers anywhere in England and Wales - defence skills training - learning the law Cons: - demanding stressful role - you will be obligated to do your required hours per year and training - may have to deal with violent people or work in unpleasant conditions - may be treated badly by regular officers who are disrespectful towards specials (yes it happens, Ive seen/heard it) - might cause problems in your social life - opens you up to the worst people and things that life has to offer and can make you a bit disillusioned (burden of knowledge) Hope this helps ![]() |
