Surrey Police

Hello I see from the some of the neighbourhood news letters that surrey will have an additional 200 officers on the streets by 2012. Does this mean that there will be a recruitment campaign anytime soon? Will they be looking for people who have done the PLC course? Thanks z

Hello all, I have just applied to the Surrey Police as a special. I just wanted to make myself known to the forum and also had two a quick questions. I apologise in advance for what is probably questions repeated all over this site ! But hey, this place is here for conversation.. I am only 18 years of age (although very keen), how much will this effect or influence my chances of being accepted? Secondly, I had to declare three points on my licence which were obtained for speeding, is this a huge dent in my chances as well? Anyway, hope I might get the opportunity to get to know some of you in the future! Thanks, Jon

A question for those of you who have completed the course and taken the exam. Did you have your workbooks returned to you??? I am unable to get a straight answer from the college where I am currently studying other than "I believe so." Rumours currently circulating are that once our workbooks have been assessed they are destroyed due to copyright and to prevent them being sold on. I know they are only rumours but with the hardwork and money invested my fellow course mates and I would like to have them returned. I have tried to get through to the University of Portsmouth to ask this same question but without any luck so far as the person I need to speak to is not the…

Hi all Now that a few lucky ones on this forum have started with Surrey Police, I thought I would start a new thread for everyone else that is in the recruitment process at any stage (or thinking about applying!). That way it is a good way to stay 'in the loop' with any updates and to support and help each other through the long process! Donks

Surprised no one else has mentioned it on here yet.. Congratulations to Mark on his recent engagement!

Hi im new to this. I was just wondering if any body had applied for the PSO job advertised on the Surrey Police website and if so have any of you heard back from them?

Hi Everyone, Just want to say first of all, that this forum has been a great help answering some questions which I've had. I just wondered if anyone had a rough idea when Surrey will stop recruiting? I've heard on the grapevine that they aim to stop by Jan 2012 once they have recruited 200 officers? My first application didn't pass the papersift unfortunately..... it was a big blow, but I'm going to have another crack at it in Nov as thats when I can re-apply. Was just hoping that it's not going to be too late by then!? Thanks guys, Matt

Hey folks, Im looking at starting a PLC course however if I start one now it won't be finished till early next year. What I am worried about is paying for the course and then ending up with no offer of even an assessment due to ranks being filled. Secondly I was wondering more about the PLC course itself. Are the taught sessions mainly practical scenarios/roleplay, I sort of dread being back in a stuffy classroom again for hours on end! Can anyone put me at ease. I am a responsible human being in my early 30s and have 1 traffic fine from a camera due to an error in judement on my part and this is the only thing on my entire record, with so many people seemingly apply…

Hi All Who out of the Surrey members would be interested in having a gathering meal in the next couple of weeks? any thoughts?

I have my uniform fitting for Police Support Officer on Monday. What happens during the day?

Hi Everyone, I'm currently a traffic trained special in Warwickshire and are due to start a full time job with Surrey in August. I will be renting in Surrey and coming back home on rest days and annual leave. I've currently made the decision to stay as a Warwickshire Special although I clearly won't be able to commit the number of hours I am currently doing. However I would be interested to hear your opinions on what it's like for specials in Surrey, what sort of things do you get up to, if there are any restrictions on what specials can do, what's the relationship between specials and regulkars like? etc etc. If you want to PM me then feel free as your info will be …

Hi, I am currently a serving special constable with Hampshire Police and am completing the PLC course as part of my university degree at Portsmouth. I will be graduating in 2012 and as it stands don't think Hampshire will be recruiting. I have a few question about Surrey as it is my next choice. I know that officers have to live in Surrey or the surrounding 20 miles, but was wondering is this once accepted. I don't want to move and then not get in. Also is the PLC course the same for each place, because I have been reading a few threads and people have been saying how hard it is. I have done the first part and didn't find the exam or workbooks hard, but this could be b…

Hi guys, I've just started the PLC with the MET. We are the pilot class with the MET so have no source of reference. Just got a couple of queries for those who have done the PLC with Surrey. How hard actually was the course, did most of your class meet the 60% passmark? Is it possible to get very high marks 80% plus or is the course designed so you will only ever get around 60% no matter how well you do? The trainers are saying it will take aprox 10 hours a week of private study. Is this about right? With the exam, obviously I'm not expecting you to go in specifics, but if you do the work books and recap what you've learnt in class is that enough to pass the exam? Ma…

As it says above, does Surrey use Street Bail at all? I looked on SPIKE and couldn't find any reference to it.... Ta
