Police Force

Special Constables are volunteer police officers who come from all walks of life.
Specials are a vital and valued part of the Constabulary, with the same uniform and powers of arrest as Police Officers.

https://joinus.lancashire.police.uk/explore-our-roles/special-constable/
Working on emergency response, duties could include providing a police presence in town centres on Friday nights, dealing with domestic violence incidents, helping people who are going through a mental health crisis, and giving evidence in court.
Volunteers must commit to 16 hours a month, and it’s a 24/7 service, so flexibility is key.

Become an On Call Firefighter
https://www.lancsfirerescue.org.uk/become-an-on-call-firefighter/

On-call firefighters often have another job and rather than being based at a fire station, provide on-call cover from home or work.
Like their full-time colleagues, they are trained to deal with a wide range of situations and incidents and respond to emergencies when their pager alerts them, so must live or work near the fire station.
• Have a good level of all-round fitness.
• Live or work within five minutes, or in some instances, eight minutes.
• Have the enthusiasm, time and commitment to participate fully in this essential emergency service.
