Are Volunteers bound by a Code of Conduct?
The standard of conduct within Avon and Somerset remains the same irrespective of rank or status and Volunteers will be expected to maintain the values of the organisation. Volunteers cannot be subject to disciplinary procedures but they can be offered training, advised or their agreement terminated if the situation warrants such action. Any criminal matter will be treated in the same way as any other member of the public. Volunteers should refrain from activities that are likely to compromise their position within the Constabulary. No right of appeal exists against the Constabulary’s decision but, in normal circumstances, an explanation would be given and discussed.
