The Role & Key Responsibilities
From your first day with us you will be part of a policing family making a real difference.
It is our mission to identify and protect vulnerable people, prevent and respond to harm and keep people safe.
Crime recording is a subject which is under constant scrutiny. The Force Crime and Incident Registrar’s Audit team provide an internal inspection service to the force on crime recording and related subjects. We conduct audits on behalf of people and departments across the organisation and supply monthly updates to the senior leadership on the force’s crime data integrity.
A part-time opportunity is available as a Force Auditor, working 2 days per week (14.4 hours). We are based at Surrey Police HQ but the team frequently works from home if desired and required.
The Force Auditors provide internal crime and incident assessments to ensure compliance with national requirements and legislation. They examine the quality of data, processes and organisational performance relating to crime and incident recording, report upon the findings and make recommendations for performance improvement.
The objective of the team is to help the force to improve by identifying problem areas and highlighting good practice. We are looking for people who are passionate about improving quality standards and have the ability to communicate in an effective and efficient way.
