Six Special Constables volunteered a combined total of 83 hours between Friday, June, 2 and Saturday, 3, in an effort to make Flintshire North and South roads safer for residents.

Special Consables work on a voluntary basis. They are police officers who choose to dedicate their free time to assisting the force and community.

North Wales Police are currently recruiting for a Special Constable and more details can be found about the role on their website.
