Police now recruiting for Special Constables

The constabulary is on the lookout for volunteers to join the force as Special Constables.

Authorities have begun their recruitment campaign for the positions and are now looking for people who want to help make a difference in local communities and can offer at least ten hours of their time each month to help out.

Those wanting to get involved can apply via the Isle of Man Constabulary website before 4pm on Friday, November 6 - those who go to the next round of applications will then have to undertake a fitness test, assessment session and medical assessment.

Authorities will also hold two informal drop-in sessions for people to find out more about the roles at the TT Grandstand on Thursday, October 15 and Monday, November 2 - both will start at 6.30pm, are free to attend and don't require booking in advance.
