It's a voluntary police officer, but you have all the same powers as a regular police officer.

Only difference is you don't get paid for it and have to do a minimum of so many hours. It's very little though so I could just do one shift a week.

Are you in love with the Uniform?

I'm not sure. I'm going to look into it. I know they're recruiting for regular officers, but don't want to do that.

Yeah I like the uniform, but lots of other things too.

They're useless.

I wouldn't say they're useless. They have an important role to play.
