Special Superintendent Russell Morrison, Special Constabulary Lead, said: "Becoming a Special Constable is more than volunteering, it’s about serving your community, developing new skills, and joining a team that truly values your contribution.

"It’s a chance to make a real difference.

"If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, come along and explore it for yourself.

"There’s no pressure, just an opportunity to meet the team, ask questions, and see whether this could be the next step on your journey."

The event will take place from 10am to 12pm at the Police Training HQ on Hamble Lane.
