Lancashire Special Constabulary
Annual Report 2011-12

August 2011 Disorder
“Without a shadow of a doubt police officers have shown incredible bravery
and professionalism during the disorder, including officers from here in
Lancashire.
I am extremely proud of my officers and grateful to everyone who has
played a part in policing recent events. That includes the officers who have
been deployed directly to the front-line in London and Manchester as well
as those working to reassure local communities here.
It also includes members of our Special Constabulary
who have demonstrated once again their firm
commitment to supporting their regular colleagues
and to keeping communities safe. Their assistance
has been invaluable, so I extend my thanks to them,
along with all our other officers and staff.”

2011 A Year of Progress and Change
After an eventful and successful year, I present the 2011-2012 Annual Report of
Lancashire Special Constabulary. In 2010 a comprehensive review of Lancashire
Special Constabulary was authorised, to be overseen by Chief Inspector Andrea
Barrow. This was finalised and approved in October 2011, the policy and
recommendations have been authorised and distributed to all stakeholders. A new
leadership team was appointed in March 2011, directed by Chief Superintendent Chris
Bithell, which gave structure and focus. This underpinned the alignment of Specials to
support regular Officers, focused on Neighbourhood Policing. Chief Inspector Debbie
Howard and Inspector Wendy Bower (who oversaw the Review) gave support with
guidance on overall strategy. Implementation was managed by Jenny Cole, the Special
Constabulary Co-ordinator who liaised with divisional Specials Co-ordinators.
Training continues to be the major contributor to providing the relevant skills required by
all our Officers. I thank PC Dave Smith for his work in leading the Special’s trainers, and
the close working and formal training with supporting neighbouring counties in
developing their leaders too. Cheshire, Cumbria, GMP, Merseyside and further a field
with West Midlands, Northumbria, Durham, Gloucestershire and the Metropolitan
Special Constabularies having visited Hutton HQ for leadership courses.
This report documents the diverse work and professional approach that our 427
Specials contributed in 2011, building on the stability of 180 years of the Special
Constabulary in Lancashire. From 1 st April 2011 to the end March 2012 our Specials
worked more than 143,000hrs, the equivalent of £2.5m of policing.
The August ‘week of unrest’ was a busy time for the Special Constabulary, backfilling
for the regular Officers from Lancashire who supported both Greater Manchester and
the Metropolitan Police. 4,149 hrs. were worked in 524 individual duties during that
week alone, providing reassurance within the County. This typifies the Specials
commitment, professionalism and flexibility. The publicity about the work we do has
positively impacted on recruitment to the extent that we have doubled some of our
intakes in 2012. We will maintain a strong foundation with new probationers and, with
them working with experienced Specials, we can be assured that we will collectively
deliver and further build the trust of the public and our regular colleagues. Whether their
aspirations are to become regular Officers or career Specials, full support will always be
there.
DutySheet® is the system the Special Constabulary now uses to book and record
duties, and to audit and review performance in a consistent way. The benefits are clear
and it has enabled us to work with regular supervisors to plan and manage resources,
as well as report on past operations, events and duties. With 2012 having major events
such as the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics, we will work with the Senior Management
Team to ensure our Officers are deployed appropriately.
I am very proud that 19 Specials (including 3 who were also police staff) were
appointed as regular Officers in January 2012, in the first recruitment drive for more
than three years. This demonstrates the quality of our Officers and more will hopefully
follow them when new intakes are authorised. The awards that were bestowed during
2011 further confirm the quality and dedication of Officers recognised for their personal
contribution.
Looking forward, our focus will be on neighbourhood policing,
delivering support to regular Officers and to regular supervision,
and by further developing our leaders we will grow from strength
to strength. Our duty to Lancashire Special Constabulary
remains steadfast, our commitment even stronger, all backed by
our behaviours within Beyond Expectations. I wish to thank the
Officers of Lancashire Special Constabulary, regular Officers and
support staff who continue to make a significant contribution
within Lancashire.
Nigel Walters,
Chief Officer

The Role of Special Constables
The Special Constabulary is a force of trained volunteers who work with and support
their local regular police colleagues. 'Specials', as Special Constables are known,
come from all walks of life - they are teachers, taxi drivers, accountants and
secretaries, or any number of other careers - and they all volunteer a minimum of
four hours a week to their local police force, forming a vital link between the regular
(full-time) police and the local community. Once they have completed their training,
they have the same powers as regular Officers and wear the same uniform.
What's in it for you?
Joining the Specials opens up a world of opportunity for personal and professional
advancement. Undergoing the training and then going out on patrol makes a
welcome break from day-to-day life, bringing excitement and challenge with every
day you volunteer. People join the Specials for many different reasons.
You may want:
� to give something back to the community
� to learn new skills and gain valuable experience
� to challenge yourself
� to learn first-hand about the police force before committing to a full-time job
� to have a second chance if you’ve unsuccessfully applied for a job as a regular
officer
Being a Special will change you.
Becoming a special will help you see life differently. You'll discover a lot you did not
know about yourself and you'll learn just how much you are really capable of.
You will:
� develop self-respect and self-confidence
� improve your communication skills
� learn more about your community.
You will be working as one of a team and the experiences you share in working
closely together can lead to lasting friendships. You will learn more about life and
human nature than most people will ever see.

Support for Neighborhood Policing Teams
Neighbourhood Policing provides local policing
that is visible, accessible and responsive. It builds
on the foundation of involving neighbourhood
Officers in every aspect of policing so that we
work closely and effectively with communities on
the issues that matter most to them. Often we
work closely with partners to make joint
interventions on a range of issues and achieve
improved outcomes for communities and families.
Special constables are aligned to Neighbourhood
Policing Teams so they can identify and get
involved with local policing issues. All probationer
Specials complete a neighbourhood project to
help them better understand the policing issues in
the communities they serve.
Police and Communities Together
Police and Communities Together, or PACT, is
the name we give to making sure the public have
a say and involvement in how local
neighbourhoods are policed.
The PACT process gives members of the public
the chance to meet their neighbourhood policing
team every month, to have a say on how
neighbourhoods are policed and to monitor local
policing performance. Special Constables are
encouraged to participate in local PACT meetings
so they can learn about local issues and address
policing priorities such as Anti-Social Behaviour
issues.
Diversity
Lancashire is comprised of many diverse
communities.
Special Constables play their part in ensuring
that Lancashire Constabulary delivers its services
to our diverse communities in a way which is fair,
and does not discriminate or treat people unfairly.
We will continue to build relationships, working
closely and further increasing trust with community
engagement for all.
Specials and Volunteers Coordinators.
In each division Special Constables are supported
by a Specials and Volunteers Co-ordinator. They
undertake a wide variety of tasks to ensure the
smooth running of the various groups of
volunteers in their division (Cadets, Specials,
Volunteers). Often working Beyond Expectations
and in their own time they act as the glue that
holds the teams together. From recruitment and
organising local training, to arranging inductions
and equipment, managing personnel issues and
preparing awards submissions their range of tasks
often appears endless.

Deputy Chief Officer Paul Airlie
I have been very proud of the work undertaken by our
Specials in 2011/2012. It has been both a challenging and
a rewarding year for our Special Constabulary. A new
Leadership Team has been appointed, Officers are aligned
to Neighbourhood Policing Teams, DutySheet® was
introduced and there has been a steady increase in
investment for both training and development of Officers.
The Specials Leadership Team meets monthly at HQ,
where Special Inspectors report on both their own
performance and that of their divisions. These meetings are
key to our on-going development and help ensure that our
work is fully aligned to the objectives of the Constabulary.
During the next 12 months I shall be concentrating on some
key areas of further development. We will work with our Coordinator
and HR colleagues to ensure that all leadership
posts are filled. Also, we must identify future Special
Constabulary leaders and invest time in their development.
Where possible Officers should be tasked in advance to
undertake NHP priorities. Supervisors now meet with their
teams monthly to engage, evaluate, task and plan to meet
Divisional objectives. Special supervisors further develop
their relationships with local NHP Sergeants, Inspectors
and regular SMT members. Divisions make use of Duty
Sheet to plan for Events and Operations (priority to
Olympics, Preston Guild and other key events). We will
arrange a County-wide "Specials Weekend". We will
migrate all Officers to the new Personal Development
System, ensuring development issues are addressed and
good work is recognised.
We will develop with Professional Standards Department a
tailored training package for all Officers. We will hold further
Specials Sergeants Forums at HQ to assist with
engagement and seek feedback. The Chief Officer and I
will continue to make regular visits to all Divisions and hold
open meetings with Officers. It is also important that we
further build relationships with senior regular Officers and
co-ordinators in all divisions. Communication and
cooperation will be the key to our continued success.
Finally, I wish to thank all Officers and staff for their support. I am confident that by
working together we will become even stronger in the year ahead which will help in our
desire to be the finest Special Constabulary in the country.

Deputy Chief Officer
Special Inspector Peter Kellett MBE
SI Peter Kellett was selected to receive the prestigious award in the New Year Honours
List. Peter said he had difficulty keeping it quiet until 31 Dec, the official publication
date. "I was even more surprised on that Saturday morning to receive a call from the
Chief Constable, Steve Finnigan offering his congratulations and inviting me to meet
him. I was somewhat nervous about the prospect but Mr
Finnigan quickly put me at my ease and I thoroughly enjoyed
the opportunity to recount what it was like in the 'olden days'!"
Peter joined in 1965 and now works with PC Dave Smith at
HQ Training. "Although the MBE will have my name on it, I
feel it also brings recognition and credit to the whole of the
Special Constabulary”. Peter was instrumental in developing
the first formal SC training course in Lancashire.

HQ Special Constabulary Training
Our Commitment
We will ensure that all Special Constables receive a quality corporate, probationary
and development training programme that provides Officers with the necessary
skills, competencies and opportunities to enable them to safely and confidently
deliver policing in our local communities.
Modular Training Programme
The SC modular training programme recognises the need for flexibility for Officers
completing initial training. The aim is to provide Specials with the appropriate
knowledge, skills and competence to perform their role. Course content for the initial
training programme includes the minimum content advised to be delivered from the
National Strategy Implementation Guidance – Training and Development (2008) as
well as the National Curriculum set out in the NPIA’s Initial Learning for Special
Constable’s (IL4SC) programme. Our programme builds further upon the guidance
minimum content, enabling a reasonable core of policing knowledge to be provided.
Team Building Days
On various dates during the autumn and winter Specials attended ‘divisional team
building days’ at Hutton Hall. During the morning Officers have looked at some
theory behind the importance of team building and supervisors were able to present
their local policing ambitions and strategies to staff. In the afternoon several
‘command and control’ tasks were set at locations around the training centre. Teams
of Special Constables led by their supervisors worked together to find solutions to
challenging problems. Command and control tasks are used by the armed forces to
identify potential Officers and supervisors. The day ended with Officers presenting
what they had learnt from their group tasks. Specials Trainer PC Dave Smith
commented that "The day was a valuable experience which clearly improved team
communication, morale and motivation. The feedback from the Specials was
fantastic even though they were cold, wet and muddy!” It is planned to run similar
events for Specials from the remaining territorial divisions later in 2012.
Regional Leadership Training
Lancashire hosted three Level 1 (Sergeants) and one Level 2 (Inspectors)
leadership courses for Special’s supervisors from across the region. Courses have
also been attended by Specials from as far away as Gloucestershire, Durham,
Northumbria, West Midlands and the Metropolitan Police.

Around the County
The six Geographic Divisions
Northern Division
2011/12 has seen the focus of the Specials remain with people who are vulnerable
and missing from home. This Initiative also saw the award of the Ferrers National
Police Trophy to Special Inspector Gardner.
Eastern Division
At the end of January 2012 a total of 12,580 hours
of policing had been provided by Specials in
Northern Division and of this 32.5% of the hours
had been dedicated to Neighbourhood Policing. In
addition to this, support was also provided to
policing many events across the Division such as
Garstang Children’s Festival, Tram Sunday, Great
Eccleston Show, ‘Freshers’ Week, Morecambe
Seaside Festival, Remembrance Day Parades and
several Bonfire and Firework Displays.
During the ‘week of unrest’ in London in August,
Specials completed a total of 535 hours of duty to
ensure that policing needs across the Division were
being met whilst our regular colleagues were
supporting other forces. January 2012 also saw the
success of 3 of our Specials in joining the regular
police force in the first recruitment to take place in
nearly 3 years.
Eastern Division has had a successful 12 months and looks forward to the
challenges that 2012 brings. Highlights from last year have been AS/Sgt 9255 Paul
Shoreman being awarded Special Constable of the Year and the appearance of SC
9815 Chris McKiernan on BBC Radio Lancashire talking about the experiences of
training and being a new SC.
Eastern are developing a successful model of regular PC’s tasking specials within
the Neighbourhood Teams which is developing a strong team feeling, providing
developmental opportunities and ensuring our
priorities are aligned to those of the Divisional
SMT. A good example of this is the Community
Alcohol Network (CAN) project in Hyndburn where
we have external funding providing 2 vehicles all
weekend to deal with ASB, alcohol related issues
and crime.
In one month alone this operation saw 62 litres of
alcohol seized, 3 arrests, 2 PNDs, 54 Youth
Referrals, 1 Cannabis Warning, 2 voluntary
attendance interviews for cannabis possession, 2
Vulnerable Child forms submitted, 1 summons to
court for underage sale of alcohol (the shop has
subsequently had its licence revoked) and over 280
young people engaged with.

Around the County
The six Geographic Divisions
Western Division
Western Division has seen a challenging year for the Special Constabulary. Special
Inspectors Andrew Smith & Sonya Boden, supported by Special Sergeants have
managed the implementation of the Organisational Review within the Division.
In addition to core business in 2011, the Special
Constabulary policed around 50 events with the
Illuminations Switch On, the Air Show and the
National Fireworks events being some of the larger
events.
2011 has seen new Special Constables join the
Division and others being successful in joining the
Regulars and becoming PCSOs. In 2012 Inspector
Andy Smith will leave the Division and join the HQ
Training Team leaving a vacancy for a Special
Inspector.
The Division now has a Coordinator to support the
Specials in delivering policing. Specials are now
fully aligned to Neighbourhood Policing this is an
exciting opportunity for our Officers to support the
NHP Teams. In addition we will have challenges in
policing the Open Golf Championship,
Illuminations Switch On and the Olympic Torch
Processions plus around 45 other events.
Central Division
2011 saw massive changes to the Specials in Central. The Organisational Review
was implemented and the Special Constabulary has undoubtedly emerged a much
more professional, organised outfit providing unprecedented levels of support
across the Division. In excess of 23,000 hrs. were worked.
Special Constables in Central Division have been a key factor in the successful
policing of the night-time economy in Preston through ‘Night-Safe’, with a number of
Officers being recognised through nomination for
team of the year. Central Division has introduced a
specialist Community Partnership Team in order to
tackle Alcohol Related ASB and Licensing issues.
This team has seen fantastic results already and
also received Team of the Year nominations.
As well as these two specific teams our Specials
have worked alongside the Public Protection Unit,
CID, Custody, Communications, Crime Scene
Investigation and Road Policing departments to
increase our overall capability and resilience.
2012 promises to be a massive year for the Police
in England and Wales and Central Division Special
Constabulary is no different. With the continued
dedication and commitment of the team I have no
doubt in my mind that 2012 will be as much a
success as 2011 was.

Around the County
The Six Geographic Divisions
Pennine Division
Over the past twelve months Pennine Specials have given their
support to a wide range of operations. These ranged from policing
EDL demonstrations to our regular work at Burnley FC football matches. We have
also covered many smaller events in our local neighbourhoods. With every officer
aligned to a Neighbourhood Policing Team the amount of our time spent on local
community based work continues to increase as
closer cooperation with NHP teams develops.
Southern Division
Several Officers have been successful in joining the
regulars or have become PCSOs. We also
welcomed many new Officers to take their place.
Looking forward we will continue to increase our
integration with divisional neighbourhood policing
teams. We also intend to help reduce anti social
behaviour and support local policing objectives,
such as serious acquisitive crime, criminal damage,
and violent crime, focussed on providing
reassurance to members of the public.
The Burnley Campus of UCLan acts as a satellite
location for Foundation Degree in Policing students
from East Lancashire, West Yorkshire, GMP and
British Transport Police.
Southern is a very active division with over 100 special constables. We serve
communities in the Boroughs of South Ribble, Chorley and West Lancashire with their
many fetes, carnivals and events and varied policing challenges.
Close co-ordination and better integration of the cluster teams saw us giving combined
support at major events such as the Ormskirk Military Parade and for Operations such
as ‘Julius’, addressing ’cross border’ criminality. Our Specials responded rapidly to
several major incidents, notably the December fire in Leyland, the largest in
Lancashire in ten years. Support during the summer ‘unrest’ from Specials across the
division was outstanding. All these activities fit the ‘Team Southern’ Model.
Operations such as ‘Night-Safe’ in Chorley, ‘Campus-Watch’ in Ormskirk and ‘Night-
Owl’ in South Ribble address local policing priorities.
The first dedicated Specials traffic unit in the county,
based at Bamber Bridge, supports ‘Community Road
-Watch’, involving volunteers targeting speeding
motorists. Support was given by the team to the
Christmas Drink Drive Campaign.
Mark Robinson, Craig Till and Craig Hough received
Commendations for outstanding police work. Neil
Ogden and Rob Dixon featured in the Lancashire
Evening Post for giving life-saving first aid to an
injured cyclist.
Nathan Bright, Dave Massam, Becca Swift, Peter
Allen, Rob Dixon, Zuber Desai, Roy Middleton and
Jonathan Norris have all featured in the Beyond
Expectations (BE) campaign in recognition of their
varied contributions. Congratulations to Chloe
Hamby, Mark Robinson and Dan McDermott on their
appointment as regular Officers. Ten Specials are to
become PCSOs in Southern Division in April 2012.

Reward and Recognition
In Lancashire we value our Specials and seek
different ways of recognizing their contribution and
saying thank-you. At the 2011 Specials annual
awards ceremony Officers received lapel badges for
completing 3, 5 and 10 years service. Here we see
the Chorley team after having received their awards.
National Policing Awards
Special Sergeant Rob Dixon, Southern Division met
Home Secretary Theresa May at the annual Janes
Awards ceremony held in London in November.
Rob represented the Bamber Bridge Specials team
who were nominated for the prestigious Special
Policing Team award. The Bamber Bridge team
were awarded the Constabulary’s Special Policing
Award Trophy at the December Police Authority
meeting which is proudly displayed at Southern
Division’s HQ, Leyland.
Special Inspector Ruth Gardner, Northern Division,
received the Ferrers Trophy for helping improve the
search processes for missing people. Ruth received
the award at the 2011 NPIA National Special
Constable and Police Support Volunteer Awards
that recognise the range of skills volunteers bring to
policing. Her team put over 600 hours into the
project that resulted in the successful location of a
number of vulnerable people. SI Gardner said, “I am
delighted to receive this award, it recognises the
commitment our team gives to policing. This award
is a fantastic way of recognising the value and many
talents of our Specials and volunteers.”
At the Constabulary’s Annual Awards Ceremony
Ruth also received the Special Constable Of The
Year Award for her devotion and commitment.
Chief Officer Nigel Walters, said: “Ruth has
demonstrated excellent leadership qualities whilst
providing clear direction to her team. The work she
has done in the arena of missing people has
improved public safety and successfully helped the
force to locate missing people”.
Chief Superintendent’s
Commendations
Divisional Commanders award commendations for
exceptional police-work. Few Officers, Specials or
Regulars receive such awards.
One example of a recipient is Craig Till. He
received a Chief Superintendent’s Commendation
for assisting in the arrest of members of an
international team of credit card fraudsters. It was
Craig who spotted their ‘suspicious activity’ whilst
on patrol at 5 am
Craig is an exceptional officer who has arrested
over 90 offenders in less than two years. Craig
now tutors other Specials.

Do you want to be a Special Constable?
Special Constables are unpaid volunteer police Officers who have the same powers
as regular police Officers, wear the same uniform and are issued with the same
equipment. The main duties of a Special Constable are:
� To carry out local patrols
� To take part in crime reduction projects
� To help challenge anti-social behaviour
� To help police local events
A Special Constable is asked to work a minimum of four hours per week in a single
shift but the working hours are flexible so that you can give more time if you can
spare it. Some local companies actively support staff who wish to be a Special
Constable by allowing them to undertake some of their police duties during their
normal working time. Special Constables come from all walks of life. They may be at
home bringing up a family, in full-time employment, between jobs or a student -
ordinary people like you who have an interest in helping the local community. No
formal qualifications are needed so long as you are honest and reliable have a
positive approach, are able to work as part of a team and are willing to learn new
skills.
Applications can be accepted at the age of 18. You must also meet certain health
and fitness requirements and pass a fitness test as well as be a national of a
country within the European Economic Areas (EEA), or have the right to live in the
UK without restrictions.
