Vacancy Information
Are you a successful, professional PIP2 accredited DC? Do you thrive on managing investigations from start to finish and enjoy the ownership and satisfaction of seeing a job through to the very end?
We’re looking for experienced and committed investigators to form part of our exciting new policing model and be at the very heart of our some of our most serious and high profile investigations. We currently have a variety of vacancies across the main investigation bases of Reigate, Guildford and Staines. These locations host local specialist CID, Child abuse teams and Domestic abuse teams with the addition of a force-wide Sexual Offences Investigation Team.
This is a well-worn path with recent transferees coming from forces such as the MPS, West Mids Police, TVP and Hampshire.

For example, Surrey and Sussex have joint Major Crime Team, and Serious and Organised Teams, as well as there being DS roles in teams such a Complex Abuse Unit and Paedophile on-line investigation team.
