They were sworn-in in front of family and friends and force headquarters in Ripley last night, and now have the same powers as regular, full-time police officers.
Assistant Chief Constable Gary Knighton said: “Special Constables have a long and proud history of providing vital support to the force, and in particular giving very welcome assistance to our communities and police colleagues.
“Being a Special Constable enables each individual to make a genuine difference to the lives of people across Derbyshire.”
