VOLUNTEERS are needed to 'help police with their enquiries'.

Lancashire Constabulary is looking to recruit new part-time helpers this week - National Volunteers Week.

Tasks will include telephoning people to update them on the progress of investigations as well as gathering information for police.

Assistant Chief Constable Julia Hodson says: "We already have some volunteers who make a valuable contribution. Now we are looking for people to extend the police family and assist with delivering a quality service."
