Clerk 2 and Clerk 3
Auxiliary Clerical Pool, CUPE
Surrey Police Service (SPS) is Surrey’s new municipal police agency. On November 29, 2024, SPS became the police of jurisdiction, and assumed responsibility and command for policing and law enforcement in Surrey. SPS is working to redefine policing with innovative new approaches and community-based solutions. It’s an exciting time as SPS continues to expand our team with talented people who want to help shape the future of policing in Surrey. To date we’ve hired over 480 police officers and over 450 civilian support staff and will grow to be one of the largest independent police services in Canada. Since day one, SPS has been intentional about building a culture that is inclusive, respectful and supportive, with a strong focus on employee wellness and career development.
POSITION OVERVIEW
SPS has exciting opportunities for experienced clerks to be a part of a historical policing transition. Successful candidates will join the SPS auxiliary clerical pool and will have the opportunity to be posted to temporary administrative assignments throughout the organization.

Upon completion of an assignment, an incumbent will return to the Auxiliary clerical pool and will be eligible for assignment in other sections. Depending on the type and complexity of work to be performed, assignments will either be at the Clerk 2 or Clerk 3 level.
