If you have experience in conducting investigations and some time to spare, we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!
We are recruiting individuals with investigative experience to join us as Police Consultant Volunteers in our Investigation Teams.
We are looking for individuals to volunteer a minimum of six hours a week between the hours of 07:00 and 21:00 Monday to Sunday. This role may be based at Guildford Police Station or Surrey Police Headquarters located just outside Guildford Town Centre.
To apply for this role you will need to have a practical understanding of disclosure and the Criminal Procedure and Investigation Act (CPIA) 1996.
The Role & Key Responsibilities
From your first day with us you will be part of a policing family making a real difference. Police Consultant Volunteers will work collaboratively with police officers and staff to expedite investigations and enhance the service provided to Surrey's communities.
By undertaking this role, you will support the following activities:
* Conducting enquiries
* Gathering and reviewing evidence
* Obtaining witness statements
* Responding to queries and providing updates regarding investigations
Skills & Experience
Police Consultant Volunteers will need to have a willingness and desire to support the police and the public, with great attention to detail and excellent communication skills.
To apply, you will need to have investigative experience and an understanding of disclosure and CPIA 1996. An accreditation in Professionalising Investigation Programme 2 (PIP2) is desirable, but not essential.
As part of a proactive policing team, you will need to be able to work independently and collaboratively, to plan and prioritise key tasks.
Previous experience of using Microsoft Office programmes and police incident recording systems such as Niche would be beneficial for this role as you will need to use these each time you volunteer.
Why Volunteer With Us?
We take pride in looking after our volunteers. Through volunteering, you will have the opportunity to:
* Experience policing first-hand
* Meet new people and teams
* Learn and develop your skills
We will reimburse any travel expenses you may incur whilst volunteering and we have recognition schemes in place for us to formally show our appreciation for your service.
