It draws on two PSV typologies—motivation (The Altruistic PSV, The Social PSV, and The Career PSV) and role (The Operational PSV and The Non-Operational PSV) to explore PSVs’ perceptions of their contribution: a ‘one size fits all’ process or experiences that are more multidimensional, with factors related to individuals’ roles, tasks, and motivations impacting on the ‘service’ they feel able to offer, satisfaction within their role, and their intention to continue to give their time to policing. The article concludes with a discussion of the PSV against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting police landscape and points to their position in a reshaped policing climate.
