About volunteering roles

Police Support Volunteers provide support and assistance to their local police service. They perform a range of roles from delivering vehicles to getting involved in major events such as the Tour de Yorkshire cycle race. They don’t replace employed staff, but the work they do helps to free up time for paid-for police officers and staff to concentrate on activities that only they can deliver.

These are just a sample of the our volunteering roles…

• Neighbourhood Support Volunteers work in their local community with the police and partner agencies in a preventative role. They work on crime prevention initiatives and are trained to spot vulnerable people who might be in need of advice or support. Their work can vary from area to area depending on the local requirements. Bob and Oliver are both NSVs in Scarborough – watch this video about their work and why they became a police volunteer.
