Wootton Hall bosses have hailed a “record” month for volunteer police officers in Northamptonshire.
Northamptonshire Police’s special constabulary made 44 arrests in June, recording 111 crimes, seizing 13 vehicles and carrying out 76 alcohol seizures.
In total, the volunteer police officers gave up 6,879 hours of their time this June compared with 4,284 hours in June 2012.
Special Superintendent Mike Maywood said: “We are always pleased with the level of commitment from our special constables but have been particularly delighted with the dedication shown during the Silverstone weekend.
“Many special constables took time off from their day jobs to support the Silverstone policing operation, working 12 hour days to help keep the event safe for everyone to enjoy.”
Specials completed more than 150 tours of duty over the Silverstone weekend, equating to 1,994 hours of their time. An average weekend sees around 750 hours given by the Specials.
Mr Maywood added: “This was one of our busiest weekends on record and I am hugely proud of the outstanding support and time the Specials have committed to Northamptonshire Police.”
