I was wondering if anyone knew whether Fife offered travel expenses for Specials. I know we can qualify for a bounty but other forces also offer travel expenses.

I'm already a special in Fife. I'm assuming by the scarceness that you're up in the north east ( Tayport, newport etc) If so I'd highly recommend joining Fife and working from Cupar station. It's a lot smaller than Dundee but chances are you'll get involved in more. They're usually very short staffed and so you'll be thrown in at the deep end dealing with all sorts of calls. Some of my friends in big cities say that they miss out on a lot because they're always policing nightclubs etc. It depends what you're looking for. I know a few folk who travel from Dundee to work in Fife for the variety.

Yeah they do offer expenses but it usually comes with a few conditions
Eg they choose what division you work in
Hope that clears it up

Cheers for the reply mate, Yeah im currently living in the newport area.. And i know that at the weekends these little towns turn into nightmares with the restricted amount of officers operating from St andrews, and so the Kids go wild, *alot* of drugs in the area also...
Im really thinking about what you have said now! Ive been in the "deep end" in cupar before, was randomly attacked for no reason at a bus stop, Boy got 6 months
alas the CSC.again cheers!

Cupar being really busy?! Well occasionally, but most of the time less happening than you might think.
Either up the coast (Tayport) or down (Anstruther) seem to have more stuff going on with their smaller number of officers. Tayport especially with the bridge usually seem to get a suspect section 5 called in.
There are some expenses paid, petrol money I believe, but it isn't something they really tell you about. Get in touch with the specials co-ordinator at HQ and she'll have all the info.
