Volunteers
Overview
There's little point in turning to self-help books or chocolate if you feel your life isn't quite fulfilling. Not when you could volunteer with the police, anyway.
Police community volunteers assist with regular police work and get involved in a huge range of duties. You could be doing anything from filing and photocopying, to photographing graffiti to support scenes of crime. Or monitoring CCTV, answering calls at reception or helping develop our work with the local community.
It's unbelievably varied, and even unique. Wherever your skills lie, we'll make the most of them. And since our training's thorough and ongoing, you can bring as little or as much relevant experience as you like.
Our volunteers come from all kinds of backgrounds. You might be unemployed and looking to brush up on your skills. You could be retired and looking for an opportunity to meet new people and gain a different kind of experience. Or perhaps you're thinking of joining the police and want to see what it's like firsthand. The only requirements we have are that you're at least 18 years old and are fit enough to cope with life in a busy working environment.
We appreciate whatever time you have to spare. So whether it's just a couple of hours a week or a few days, we'll be happy to have you working with us.
If you're looking for a different kind of volunteering experience, and can commit to at least 16 hours a month spread over four-, six- or eight-hour shifts, you might prefer to join us as a Special Constable. It's a way for you to help make Hertfordshire a safer place, build valuable new skills and see a different side of life.
