Congratulations to twelve of our former South Wales Police Special Constables as they conclude training and become full-time Police Officers.
The beginning of their careers as full-time officers was marked in a ceremony attended by Chief Constable Peter Vaughan, Police and Crime Commissioner Mr Alun Michael.
The officers have undertaken a shortened course, taking into consideration their previous training and work as Special Constables.
Each of the officers were selected from the internal recruitment campaign in 2012.
Good luck to all our new police officers; here is to a long and rewarding career at South Wales Police.

Congratulations to all 12 on their new appointments.
Does this mean that there will soon be a recruitment drive for Special Constable roles? I live in Cardiff and would love the opportunity to become a Special PC, more visible police patrols would make a huge difference in the neighbourhood I live in.
Congratualtions to all of you on your appointment as police officers. Wish you all the best in your career. Id love to become a special police officer i got my application put on hold due to recent government changes, i hope they will resume the recruitment window very soon id love to be able to make a massive difference in the community i live in.
