Closed petition Include the UK's Volunteer Police officers in Schedule 7 of the Coronavirus Bill

Britain's Special Constables provide a valuable resource to the country for free. In this unprecedented time, these officers should be included in the new 'Emergency Volunteers' section of the coronovirus bill to allow them to support their forces without losing their job or pay.

More details

Just like the NHS and care services, Police Forces are going to need every resource they can lay their hands on in this unprecedented time. It is important Special Constables are allowed to support their forces with all the time they feel they can offer without losing their day job or taking unpaid time off. Provision for this has been made for health and social care volunteers in Schedule 7 of the Coronavirus bill but Special Constables are not included, they need to be urgently.
