Deadline approaching for Special Constable application

There are just a few days left for anyone interested in applying to the constabulary as Special Constables.

The force began its recruitment drive for the positions last month, looking for individuals who're keen to make a difference in their local community and can offer at least ten hours of their time each month.

Police say along with an application form, anyone interested in signing up must also submit an eyesight test and fitness test declaration - successful candidates will then have to undergo fitness and medical tests and a computer assessment over the following weeks.

The deadline for applications is 4pm this Friday (November 6) - full details about the role, its requirements and how to apply is available on the Isle of Man Constabulary website.
