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.

ACC White 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.
