Frequently Asked Questions

Well every website seems to have one, so here's some of the most frequently asked questions I get.  Plus links to some of the loads of information that's elsewhere on the site.

Who are you?  What's this site all about?
  • Basic question that... I was a Special Constable for 11 years.  The site is for and about Special Constables.
What's it like being a Special?
  • Good, on the whole.  More here.
Whose site is this?  Who runs it?
  • The site is mine, an entirely private enterprise.  I write it all, do the web page design, and run the site.  There are a number of fine people helping me to run the forum too. 
Who pays for this site?
  • I pay all the fees such as web hosting.  If you like the site and want to help, support our advertisers, or you can make an online donation (thanks!).
I want to link to your site / will you link to mine?
  • You are welcome to link to PoliceSpecials.com.  I only link to other sites if a) they have a strong police/special constabulary theme and supplement the material already available here, or b) I really like them.  Suggest your site here.
How is this site promoted or advertised?
  • I don't advertise - can't afford it!  I rely on word of mouth. The usefulness of the site is directly related to the number of people who visit.  So email your friends - thanks!
Can you help me with my homework / project / thesis about the police?
  • The site has loads of info about Specials and police work.  I may be able to help with specific requests, but asking me is no substitute for doing your own research... tsk, kids today eh, don't know they're born.
Can you post me information about being a Special?
  • All the info I have is on the site, I have nothing I can post out.  For recruitment information or application forms, contact either your local police force or national police recruitment.  Details here.
I want to trade tie pins / bits of uniform / whatever
  • I occasionally swap tie pins, drop me a line and let me know what you have.  I don't trade or sell uniform items, but some sites here might.  Other requests considered on their merits!
Are you married?  Gay?  Got kids?  Where do you live?
  • None of your business.  For obvious reasons, I don't share details of my private life unless I know who I'm talking to... sorry!
Who designed your logo?
  • It was done by a friend of mine.  His site is here.  What's more he might even do one for you, for a fee, and if you ask nicely!
What software and hardware did you use to make the website?
I want to ask a question / say something nice / nasty / have a rant
  • I'm very happy to get emails, but if you have questions please check first that the info isn't already on the site or forum (it probably is!).  If not, go here for more guidance.
