Special Constabulary motion adopted as policy The Police Federation of England and Wales’ (PFEW) Interim National Board has formally adopted as policy a historic decision to allow members of the Special Constabulary to join the organisation. This follows a vote by representatives to accept the motion at conference in May. PFEW will now work with key stakeholders towards the necessary legislative changes. The conference motion stated Specials wanting to join will be “required to pay the same rate of subscription to the voluntary fund as serving officers in order to access the full range of membership services.” This currently stands at £21.58 a month. There are presently some 18,000 Special Constables in England and Wales. Only 12.5 per cent of Special Constables responded to a federation online survey last year asking whether they wanted to join the Staff Association. Of those that responded 2,356 (94 per cent) said they would choose to become a member of the Police Federation. wypf.polfed.org/2014/05/23/conference-votes-to-allow-specials-to-join-federation/
