Vacancy Information

Are you a successful, professional PIP2 accredited Detective Sergeant? 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? Do you enjoy leading your team and giving them direction and investigative momentum by your evidenced leadership? You will be used to prioritising workloads and risk by an expert application of the national decision making model.

We’re looking for experienced and committed transferee DS investigators to form part of our exciting policing model and be at the very heart of some of our most serious and high-profile investigations. We currently have vacancies across Reigate, Guildford, and Staines, which host local CID, Child abuse teams, Domestic abuse teams, and a force-wide Sexual Offences Investigation Team.

This is a well-trodden path, with recent transferees coming from forces such as MPS, West Mids Police, TVP, and Hampshire.

Transferees will, after 18 months, be able to apply for other specialist opportunities within Surrey Police, such as roles in the joint Major Crime Team, Serious and Organised Crime Teams, Complex Abuse Unit, and Paedophile Online Investigation Team.
