Abstract:

The national survey was commissioned by Chief Constable Dave Jones, the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s business lead for Citizens in Policing, working with the national Citizens in Policing Community of Practice. The Community of Practice was formed in June 2014 drawing together over 25 key stakeholders, including the College of Policing, Home Office, Association of Special Constabulary Chief Officers, National Police Chief’s Council, Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, Neighbourhood Watch, and force and volunteering expertise. This large-scale national survey was distributed to those who volunteer in policing across every police force in England and Wales during January 2016. The survey represents the first on this scale undertaken across England and Wales engaging both Special Constables and Police Service Volunteers. As such it is a landmark for the engagement of police volunteers and it presents a major opportunity for leaders across policing to learn from volunteers’ perspectives and experiences.
