Hey PS! Coder here, again... Anyway, I was always interested on how you get promoted in the Police Force, in particular the Specials. Is it based on the amount of time served or the amount of (good?) work you've put in.

My employer has offered to join Unite so I was wondering whether as a (soon to be) Special Constable, is there any restriction on me joining should I wish? Thanks
