Copied from our local police newsletter Hertfordshire Constabulary wants to significantly increase the number of Rural Specials over the next 12 months, and is especially interested in people who own their own horses to become our Mounted Rural Specials.
The initiative will help build good communication with the more isolated and rural
districts within the county and most importantly help to protect the community and reduce crime in our villages and hamlets.
Rural Special Constables patrol the rural areas of their parish and have the same power and authority as regular police constables. They work closely with regular police officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) by volunteering their time to help their local communities.
Across Hertfordshire, the 26 appointed Rural Special Constables are already making a positive impact to help their local community in both reducing crime and bringing those offenders responsible for crime to justice.
Horse riders, gamekeepers, rural workers or anyone who has a keen interest in rural and wildlife matters. If you want to be a Mounted Rural Special, you must own your own horse or have access to a horse that you can use to perform these specialist mounted patrols in the rural parishes of the county. You have to be aged at least 18 and be in good health.
