All the special inspectors work on a voluntary basis, and the appointments come after Nigel Walters was selected as chief officer to head up the Special Constabulary earlier in the year.

Nigel Walters said: “Joining the specials can give a person a great sense of fulfilment. It is a rewarding role which gives them a chance to get involved with the community and make a real difference to the people living there.

“We value the dedication and commitment of the eleven special inspectors who have been appointed who are working hard to keep the people of Lancashire safe.”
