Great idea at the start of

ℹ️ Thinking about volunteering and giving something back to your community? Why not become a Gwent Police volunteer.

We have more than 80 volunteers who dedicate their time every month to help protect and reassure our communities, this includes:
👮 Special constables
⛪ Force chaplains
🤝 Independent Advisory Group (IAG) members.

In the last year, they’ve volunteered more than 15,000 hours of their time – and carried out in excess of 2,000 activities 👏 👏

We also have crime prevention volunteers, who work alongside Police Community Support Officers to support proactive operations; police cadets and our heddlu bach, who are younger members of our communities and use their time to learn all about policing and help out at local events 🤩

We’re extremely grateful to each of our volunteers who continue to make a positive contribution within our communities. 😃
