Sukarela 

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

Kami 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. 

Sukarelawan mestilah berumur 18 tahun ke atas dan tinggal, belajar atau bekerja di dalam sempadan kepolisan Surrey. Walaupun pengurusan dan pengawasan skim ini adalah tanggungjawab berkanun pejabat PCC, ICV kami adalah bebas sepenuhnya daripada polis dan datang daripada pelbagai latar belakang dan bahagian masyarakat. Covid-19 secara semula jadi memberikan cabaran sebenar kepada lawatan tahanan, dan syukur 2021/22 menyaksikan kembali progresif kepada perniagaan seperti biasa untuk sukarelawan kami. 

Skim ini pada masa ini mempunyai 41 penduduk Surrey yang terlibat, dan sepanjang 2021/2 mereka menawarkan diri lebih 300 jam masa mereka melawat tahanan pada 98 kali berasingan. Semasa lawatan ini, ICV memeriksa secara langsung kebajikan 458 tahanan, memastikan hak dan kelayakan mereka (seperti yang ditetapkan dalam undang-undang) dipenuhi dan syarat-syarat di mana mereka ditahan memuaskan. 

Pemeriksaan HMIC ke atas tahanan Surrey pada akhir 2021 mengucapkan tahniah kepada skim dan Force atas hubungan rapat dan berfaedah mereka serta pengawasan yang kukuh, dengan menyatakan "pasukan ini terbuka kepada penelitian luar, dan pelawat jagaan bebas (ICV) mempunyai akses yang baik kepada suite dan melawat setiap tapak mingguan. Kakitangan tahanan bertindak balas dengan cepat terhadap sebarang masalah yang dibangkitkan dan ini dipantau oleh ketua pemeriksa dan pengurus skim ICV”. 

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.

Sukarelawan Sokongan Polis

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.

Kadet Polis Sukarelawan

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.

Pengalaman kerja

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.
