Special Constabulary Attestation
Last night, Tuesday 3 December 2019, saw the attestation ceremony of Greater Manchester Police's latest 21 special constables.
The ceremony saw them swear the Police Oath in front of magistrate Stephen Paine JP and assume their powers as constables.
Special Constabulary Chief Officer Mike Walmsley and Assistant Chief Constable Nick Bailey welcomed the new recruits to the force.
The Special Constabulary works alongside the regular Force with special constables having the same powers and responsibilities as full time officers.
The role of special constable is part-time and voluntary. The history of the office can be traced back to the Middle Ages.
The Force's Special Constabulary is an integral part of the wider Policing family, providing a flexible, visible, responsive and committed resource which assists us to improve the service we deliver to the people
