Police Support Volunteers
Building stronger safer neighbourhoods is paramount to the organisation and is something everyone can be involved in. South Yorkshire Police is now happy to announce the launch of its recruitment drive to encourage members of the community to become involved as Police Support Volunteers.
What are Police Support Volunteers
The Home Office states that a volunteer is someone ‘who commits time and energy for the benefit of society, the community, environment and or individuals, undertaking this freely and by choice, without concern for financial gain'
Police Support Volunteers (PSVs) are to provide an additional resource to undertake roles that are not provided by support staff or police officers. With increasing demands on police services these roles enhance the work already carried out by South Yorkshire Police.
The amount of time a PSV gives is dependent upon the individual and is agreed during the application process. Due to the sensitive nature of our work PSVs will be expected to go through the same security checks as all police staff and must be 18yrs or over.
The Rotherham North SNA requires assitants to help with the PACT (Partners and Communities Together) process. These are required at both Wath and Rawmarsh Police Stations. It will involve helping to promote the PACT process and collating and recording infomarion and contact details. This will involve some computer work mainly using Microsoft Excel and making phone calls to members of the community using pre defined questions and scripts.
