CiP is a term for over 500,000 volunteers who support the police either directly or indirectly. CiP delivers £ 70-80m in value per year to policing and its development provides an excellent opportunity to build social capital and involve communities in policing. This article introduces seven types of voluntters (Special Constables, Police Support Volunteers, Volunteer Police Cadets and Mini Police, Community Speedwatch, Street Pastors and Street Wardens, Cyber volunteers, and Neighbourhood Watch) based on a survey on Citizens in Policing (CiP) conducted in September 2019.
