Become a ShopWatch Special and benefit from Free London Travel.
If you perform at least 200 hours a year as a ShopWatch Special you could benefit from free travel on London's tube, buses and DLR *. Free travel is available on and off duty so it could save you money each month. So if you live anywhere within the Greater London area, you may not have to pay for any journeys to and from your day job.*
* This offer is subject to MSC policies, which are available on request. As a guide, a ShopWatch Special Constable performing one day's duty per fortnight would accrue 208 hours duty per year.
You will receive;
- First class training from experienced trainers who will teach you many new skills to prepare you for policing the streets of London.
- Transferable skills which you will be able to put to use in store and your personal life, especially those involving managing confrontational situations, leadership and personal safety.
- The satisfaction of knowing that your colleagues will be reassured by your presence in-store when off duty.
- The possibility of gaining promotion at work as a result of acquiring a new set of skills and experience which you have been taught.
- The prospect of performing other duties with colleagues across London on a number of high-profile events such as Trooping The Colour and anti-street-crime initiatives.
