POLICE Sector Inpsector for South East Cornwall Rupert Engely has thanked the Special Constables who have been assisting regular sections this week.

East Cornwall Specials covering Liskeard, Looe, Torpoint and Saltash have added an additional officer to each of the sections - and many more duties are planned.

’The Specials are always a strong presence on my sector and always appreciated,’ said Insp Engley.

The UK’s 10,000 strong force of volunteer Special Constables have all been called upon to do extra hours on shift during the coronavirus outbreak
