Our vibrant volunteering programme includes members of Surrey’s communities from diverse backgrounds who collectively offer their valuable knowledge, skills, and experience to the Force and my office.
Young people can join the policing family from as young as 13 as a volunteer police cadet, from the age of 16 as a police support volunteer and the age of 18 as a special constable (or volunteer police officer). With no upper age limit for volunteering, many of the Force’s volunteers have a long service history and their commitment and contribution are hugely valued.
ICV Scheme
mūsu Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) have continued to provide an essential service in the county over the last year by giving up their time to check on the welfare and treatment of people held in custody. ICVs are volunteers who visit police stations at random, in pairs, and speak to detainees in Surrey’s three custody suites in Guildford, Staines and Salfords to ensure police processes are open to independent scrutiny.
Brīvprātīgajiem ir jābūt vecākiem par 18 gadiem un jādzīvo, jāmācās vai jāstrādā Surrey policijas robežās. Lai gan shēmas pārvaldība un pārraudzība ir likumā noteikta PCC biroja atbildība, mūsu ICV ir pilnīgi neatkarīgi no policijas un nāk no dažādām vidēm un sabiedrības daļām. Covid-19, protams, bija īsts izaicinājums aizbildnības apmeklējumam, un, par laimi, 2021./22. gadā mūsu brīvprātīgie pakāpeniski atgriezās pie ierastā biznesa.
Pašlaik shēmā ir iesaistīts 41 Surrey iedzīvotājs, un 2021./2./300./98. gadā viņi 458 atsevišķos gadījumos brīvprātīgi apmeklēja vairāk nekā XNUMX stundu sava laika. Šo apmeklējumu laikā ICV tieši pārbaudīja XNUMX aizturēto labklājību, pārliecinoties, ka tiek ievērotas viņu tiesības un tiesības (kā noteikts likumā) un apstākļi, kādos viņi tika turēti apmierinoši.
HMIC pārbaudē Sērijas aizbildnībā 2021. gada beigās apsveica shēmu un spēkus ar to ciešajām un labvēlīgajām attiecībām un stingro uzraudzību, atzīmējot, ka “spēki ir atvērti ārējai pārbaudei, un neatkarīgiem apcietinājuma apmeklētājiem (ICV) ir laba piekļuve apartamentiem un katru nedēļu apmeklējiet katru vietni. Aizturēšanas darbinieki ātri reaģē uz visām izvirzītajām problēmām, un to uzrauga galvenais inspektors un ICV shēmas vadītājs.
Special Constables (volunteer police officers)
The Special Constabulary has continued to provide crucial support to policing teams across Surrey over the last year. Surrey’s special constables collectively volunteered over 42,000 hours in 2022/23.
Most special constables are integrated within Neighbourhood Policing Teams and Safer Neighbourhood Teams, providing valuable support to help ensure their communities are safe and feel safe. In addition to these core roles, special constables also volunteer in specialist areas such as roads policing, drone piloting, public order and professional standards.
Policija atbalsta brīvprātīgos
Police Support Volunteers can be found within policing teams across the county and the Force continues to develop new opportunities. During the last year, Surrey Police has welcomed new volunteers into roles including vehicle maintenance, safer neighbourhoods, fraud prevention, chaplaincy and the newly formed Ethics Committee. The Community Events Team of volunteers continues to provide a police presence at events across Surrey, providing positive engagement with communities.
Brīvprātīgie policijas kadeti
Surrey’s Volunteer Police Cadet Scheme offers young people a safe environment in which they can learn new skills, develop positive relationships with the police and actively support their community.
Young people from any background are welcomed into the scheme, including those who may have previously been in trouble with the police or may feel disconnected from their peers or community.
Cadets commit to a programme of learning and volunteering activity within their communities. Over the last year, Cadets have supported charity, community and policing events across the county and have continued to support police-led test purchase operations by attempting to purchase age-restricted items such as knives and alcohol.
Darba pieredze
Over the last year, the Force has offered short-term volunteering options such as work experience and placements which provide a unique insight into policing. Due to the popularity and success of these opportunities, they will be integrated into the Force’s volunteering programme in the future.
