Kent Police currently has 40 volunteers working around the county to support its day-to-day business.

We are currently looking for people who can give up their time for a few hours a week in roles ranging from helping to staff police station front counters and administrative work to acting as Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators.

The force wants to increase the number of volunteers involved in its work to 100 by next April and is looking for skilled professionals who can spare two or three hours a week, or even more.

To join as a volunteer, call 01622 653212 or email volunteers@kent.pnn.police.uk. You need to be aged over 16.
