What is a volunteer?

Did you know that the police also has volunteers known as Police Support Volunteers who help improve the service the police give to the people of Norfolk?

These volunteers give up their own time to help keep Norfolk safe.

As part of police training, an officer will do role play where he learns how to deal with people in different situations. So a volunteer may help the police by being an actor for the day! 

They can also help by watching the drivers in their village, making sure that they are not going too fast! Maybe you have seen some volunteers where you live helping the police out.

By giving the police just a little bit of their time, volunteers have a real impact on the community as they carry out jobs that help free up police officers' time for other things.
