Sussex Police

Recruiting Special Constables! 🚨 Our Special Constables volunteer their time to work alongside Police Officers and PCSOs when not in their regular career. People from all walks of life apply, either to take care of their county or experience what joining the regular police force would be like. Becoming a Special means you’ll be able to positively impact more lives than just your own. 🌟 Your shifts could include being first on the scene, making arrests, safeguarding the vulnerable, community engagement, educating young people and more. We serve our county. We are Sussex Police. You could be too. Join us and apply at ➡️ http://spkl.io/60444CrTO.

And they’re off….! 🚲 Today, a team of individuals from Surrey Police and Sussex Police set off on a four-day, 240-mile cycle ride to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire as part of the UK Police Unity Tour. Starting in Brighton, this long-distance cycling event honours the police officers and staff who have lost their lives in the line of duty and serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and selflessness with which our colleagues across the country undertake their duties. The riders made their first stop at Sussex Police HQ for a short memorial service, led by the Force Chaplain, and were waved off by Chief Constable Jo Shiner. Throughout the ride, they will be raising vital funds for the Care Of Police Survivors (COPS), a UK charity dedicated to helping rebuild the lives of families who have lost loved ones in relation to their duty. They have an ambitious fundraising target and with the help of donors, and partners Metfriendly and the National Police Healthcare Scheme, they are riding to ensure that families receive the support they need at the most difficult of times.
