VSC officers usually perform duties after office or working hours – mostly on weekends or during free days. Each tour of duty could last from a 4-hour shift to a full shift of 12-14 hours, depending on requirements. VSC officers could also be deployed with Regular Police Officers or with their volunteer peers, depending on the requirements of the tour of duty.
Being a VSC officer is very dynamic and engaging as VSC officers get to interact with the members of public through various police activities. These activities include proactive patrolling to keep the streets safe, helping people in distress and assisting victims of robbery or road traffic accidents.
