A university lecturer, two students and a company director were among the latest Special Constables to graduate in a ceremony at Cambridgeshire Police HQ.
The eight volunteers will now begin supporting the front line from stations including Thorpe Wood in Peterborough, Parkside in Cambridge, Huntingdon, Wisbech and Ely.
They were welcomed to the force by Assistant Chief Constable Vicki Evans and sworn in by Magistrate Ian Balmer.
In 2020, Specials put in shifts totalling more than 45,000 hours - 4000 more than in 2019 - attended more than 2600 incidents and made or assisted 686 arrests.
