Vacancy Information
We welcome applications from current serving special constables who have reached independent patrol or directed patrol status and are looking to transfer to Surrey Police. If you do not have this status, you can apply via our new special constable recruitment pathway.
Surrey's Special Constabulary plays a crucial role in fighting crime, protecting people, and earning the trust and confidence of all our communities. Through their voluntary work with our operational policing teams, our special constables provide valuable additional capacity and resilience to our frontline teams.
Application Process
Once your application is received and checked, you will be invited to a selection interview. If successful at interview, you will undergo pre‑appointment checks which include medical, references, vetting and a fitness test.
Upon successful completion of the checks, you will undertake a training needs analysis to identify any training requirements you may have. If significant training needs are identified, you may be asked to undertake our full initial special constable training course.
The transfer process can take between three and six months depending on your individual circumstances, so we advise you to submit your application at the earliest opportunity to minimise any break in service.
Chief Constable's Message
We really welcome your interest in joining our Police Force. It is a privilege to lead the teams in Surrey Police and Sussex Police who continuously work selflessly and tirelessly to keep people in our counties safe.
We are looking for talented and inspirational people who put the needs of the public at the heart of everything they do and who want to make a difference. If you feel you are that person, then we want to hear from you.
We wish you all the very best with your application.
