To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many life sentence prisoners

Mr. Denham

Special constables perform a variety of duties in the West Midlands Police Force. These include high-visibility foot patrol, supporting regular officers at public events, crime prevention initiatives and traffic-related duties. Specials also perform driving duties, following up inquiries and attending to non-urgent call-outs.
