A SPECIAL constable who has completed almost 3,000 hours’ service in Barnsley has been rewarded for his efforts.
Last week Special Constable Joshua Booth was named Barnsley District’s Special Constable of the Year at the 2025 Barnsley District Awards held at Barnsley Town Hall.
Joshua has been a Special Constable for six years and in that time has completed almost 3000 hours for the Special Constabulary in Barnsley.
Working with response teams on a regular basis and attending a vast amount of emergency incidents, Joshua also supports many Special Constabulary lead duties and events such as Night Time Economy Vans, Penistone Show and Barnsley 10k amongst many others over the course of his service.
Joshua helps mentor new Special Constables who join the district and is a very well thought of member of the team.
Joshua's day job is as a Call Handler and Dispatcher in the Force Control Room.
