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 volunteering with our operational policing teams, our special constables provide valuable additional capacity and resilience to our frontline Teams.

Once your application has been received and checked, you will be invited to a selection interview. If successful, you will undergo pre-appointment checks including medical, references, vetting, and a fitness test.

Upon successful completion, you will undertake a training needs analysis to identify any training requirements. If significant 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 individual circumstances. We advise submitting your application early to minimize any break in service.
