Today marks the 195th Anniversary of the Special Constabulary.

Thank you all our amazing Volunteer Police Constable who have, and who continue to generously give up their time to support us in keeping the communities of West Yorkshire safe.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, you can read extracts from Tom Wilson's Diary - Our longest serving Special Constable.

Tom Wilson was an officer in West Yorkshire Police for 52 years after joining the City of Bradford Special Constabulary in May 1926. Upon retiring he wrote a diary, recounting his experiences as a Special Constable.

A huge thank you to 8 of our Bradford Special Constables who volunteered last night by taking out 2 Police Vans on the late shift patrolling Braford targeting wanted people.

A number of arrests were made, 6 intelligence reports were submitted and various enquiries to locate individuals. In addition to this, drugs were seized and they helped locate a high risk misper.

All in there spare time on Thursday evening. Fantastic work and very much appreciated everyone!
