Police National Service officers are known as "Special Constables," and hence have "SC/" as a prefix to their ranks. Hence, a Police National Service Corporal will have his rank denoted as "SC/CPL"
Trainee Officers have a "T/" prefixed to their ranks.
Volunteer Special Constabulary Officers are distinguished by a "(V)" indicated as a surfix, hence writtern as "CPL (V)" for example.
