Attention Block Watch Members,
As a resident of Surrey, there are many ways to help prevent and reduce crime in your city. You can join a Block Watch group, enlist your residential building in the Crime Free Multi-Housing program, attend a Neighbourhood Safety presentation, or apply to volunteer for the Auxiliary Constable Program.
Auxiliary Constables are hands-on volunteers who assist police officers with community based policing and crime prevention programs. Auxiliaries complete a basic training program that consists of 250 hours of classroom and practical instruction.
“Quite simply, the Auxiliary Constable Program is meant to strengthen the partnership that exists between the community and the police,” says Surrey RCMP Sergeant Paul Hayes. “The program provides volunteers with a unique opportunity to perform authorized activities that help reduce crime and disorder and promote community engagement.”
Requirements to become an Auxiliary Constable with the Surrey RCMP are:
· Age 21 years or older
· Canadian Citizen
· Proficient in English language
· Minimum education high school diploma or equivalent
· Valid BC Class 5 driver’s licence
· Preference will be given to applicants who live or work in Surrey
· Physically fit
· Of good character (e.g., attain and maintain RCMP reliability status)
· Willing to commit to a minimum of 2 years after training
If you have an interest in policing and are looking for a challenging and rewarding volunteer opportunity, sign up to attend an Information Session this January. Please note that these sessions are only offered once per year. To register for a session, please email surrey_auxiliary_application@rcmp-grc.gc.ca with your full name, age, phone number, email, and date of session you would like to attend.
