We’re expanding our presence in Surrey and expanding our Frontline. To support our continuing growth as we take over more policing operations, we’re now offering a signing bonus of $30,000 for experienced Frontline Constables.

• Dedicated Wellness Unit that supports employees in all aspects of their wellness

• 40 hours of annual wellness leave for SPS police officers

• 80 hours of sick leave on day one; 240 hours earned each year after becoming a First Class Constable

• Registered psychologist who provides on-site services for staff

• Fitness coordinator and nutritionist

• 95% top-up of gross weekly earnings for maternity/parental leave for 52 weeks

We worked closely with Frontline officers to build a shift schedule that works for both our officers and the community we serve. 

• More hours of rest during days off (up to 115 hours)

• Shorter overnight shifts (10 hours, not 12)

• Overnight shifts start later in the evening, allowing for more family time

• Same shift for each 4-day block, resulting in less sleep disruption

• Increased team cohesion and supervision, with the full team having the same start/end time

• Overlapping shifts which increase ability to relieve officers at end of shift

• SPS offers the full range of specialty units you’d expect in a large police service — from surveillance and gang enforcement to confidential informant work. Some highly specialized roles also offer a signing bonus, as noted in job postings.

• At SPS, seniority is based on rank and start date — so the earlier you join, the more opportunities you may have over time.

• Our comprehensive employment package focuses on employee wellness and competitive compensation.

• Wellness Leave: Each member receives 40 hours of wellness leave each calendar year, which can be used or paid out at the end of the year

• Chief's Scholarship: Educational benefit of up to $3,500 per person to put towards higher education courses and programs

• Maternity/Parental Leave: 95% top up of gross weekly earnings for 52 weeks

• Past Service: Your years of prior policing service will be recognized when calculating your salary and annual leave entitlements

SPS is offering up to $10,000 to help cover relocation expenses for experienced officers who do not live in the lower mainland.

• Our 65,000 square foot Surrey Police Training Centre features fully moveable deployment structures, jiu-jitsu training area, workout facility, training classrooms, and multiple areas for vehicle training and tactical scenarios.

• All SPS officers are trained in Gracie Survival Tactics and Integrated Communications, Assessment and Tactics (ICAT) as part of our advanced training in de-escalation. Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes and practice sessions are offered weekly.
