Dear Sir or Madam,

Firstly appologise for the late reply

The below request is asking for information on Special Constables
yes.

Any thing from how officers are trained to how officers are
recruited would be helpfull.

Also if you have copies of the procedure and how staff asses the
procedure of the aplication process.

If staff pick out certain qualities they think relate to a good
police officer before recruiting an officer would also help
