Greater Manchester Police is supporting this year’s National Volunteers’ Week (1-7 June).

The Force has almost 1,300 volunteers who give up their own time to help police Greater Manchester. 

Volunteer roles include special constables, police support volunteers, police cadets, museum and band volunteers.

There are over 650 specials currently in GMP who give up a minimum of four hours a week to policing their local community.

Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: “Volunteers play an integral part in policing the streets of Greater Manchester and this week is the perfect opportunity to thank them for of the work that they do.

“The individuals who give up their own time to positively contribute to the local community are an example to us all.”
