Yea they roam the streets trying to help the drunk or homeless people.
There was a programme on BBC TV earlier this year called the street, it was about life on sauchiehall St and at night it showed the street pastors with dp3400 radios.

they don't have any powers etc so not really doing anything police related, just helping drunk folk get to taxis, providing flip flops to woman who walk down the street with there shoes in hand instead of on there feet as their feet are sore, (why woman wear shoes that hurt their feet I will never know!!) and providing support/chatting to homeless folk.
if they witness a fight etc they just radio to control to get police to attend.

special constables normally are paired with a regular officer and don't normally patrol on there own (I think)
they have the powers of regular officers so can deal with a lot more, it just helps spread the manpower better when a special is with a regular or a group of regular officers.
