Professional Standards Department Support Volunteer

1 month ago

Lewes, United Kingdom Sussex Police Full time

Vacancy Information

The principle of policing by consent relies on the trust and confidence that the public has in the police service and the wider law enforcement community. The Professional Standards Departments (PSD) plays an important role in the maintenance of that trust and confidence. Trust and confidence can be undermined by a failure to manage misconduct and complaints or to investigate corruption effectively. It is essential that these matters are dealt with openly and robustly in force.

Meeting the staff/officer/witness during any scheduled breaks and chaperoning them to an allocated room. Meeting the member of staff/officer/witness at the end of the hearing and chaperoning them off the premises. Helping with setting up the hearing room.

Please note; you will NOT attend the hearing or be given any information regarding the hearing/outcomes.

Volunteering hours will be dictated by the length of the misconduct hearings. Hearings can range from 1-2 days depending on the complexity of the case. Hearings are irregular, with approximately about 10 a year. At least one month’s notice will be given for the scheduled hearing.
