Specials in London
Special constables are stationed in 32 boroughs across the capital, helping to make the streets safer and responding to 999 calls. Each borough has its own unique policing challenges, reflecting the area and the people who live there - simply click on the map for a description of each borough.
As well as working on borough, Specials also have the opportunity to join the Operational Support Unit (OSU), which patrols high streets, transport interchanges and other 'hotspot' areas on Friday and Saturday nights. If you would like to find out more about the operational support unit, please view the OSU page.
Safer Transport Command
Working as part of the new Territorial Policing Safer Transport Command (STC), special constables will be initially attached to one of the 32 borough-based Safer Transport Teams (STT). Each STT is dedicated to policing the transport system in their local borough reducing crime, anti-social behaviour and fear of crime.
