The IOM Special Constabulary are holding drop-in sessions for people interested in becoming a Special Constable.
More information and the application form can be downloaded from www.iompolice.im. The closing date for applications is Friday 8th April 2016.
Special Constabulary Chief Officer Dean Johnson said: "We are entering a new era for the Special Constabulary and this recruitment drive for new officers is part of that. It is an exciting opportunity for anyone wishing to experience life as a Police Officer as well as directly helping their community. New recruits can expect to work alongside their full-time counterparts in a wide variety of challenging and interesting roles that most members of the public never get to experience as well as enjoying being part of a hard working team."
"The recruitment campaign is the brainchild of one of my Special Superintendents, Sonia Rowe who has utilised the technical talents of fellow Special Superintendent Ian Horsey. What they have put together is a completely new approach to recruiting for the Special Constabulary and is testament to the hard work put in by our officers"
Sonia said: "Whilst it has been hard work, I think the effort will be worth it once the campaign is launched. It will give people a much better opportunity to find out what we really do and to hear first-hand from our officers how they balance the role of a volunteer police officer with their various day jobs and thus hopefully inspire people to join our team."
Sergeant Paul Kemp, Staff Development Manager said: “Joining the Special Constabulary really is a great opportunity for those who wish to give something back to the community in a fairly unique and enjoyable way whilst being able to continue their full-time employment. It also gives a great insight for those seeking a full-time career with the Police in the future.”
