Chief Constables' Message
We really welcome your interest in joining our Police Force. It is a privilege to lead the teams in Surrey Police and Sussex Police who continuously work selflessly and tirelessly in order to keep people in our counties safe. We are looking for talented and inspirational people who put the needs of the public at the heart of everything that they do and who want to make a difference. If you feel you are that person then we want to hear from you. We wish you all the very best with your application. 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. In this role you will be part of a small team responsible for the review of all cases submitted for court using the Postal Charge Requisitions (PCR) pathway. This is a busy Department with over 54% of all Sussex Police cases being submitted for PCR review, and subsequently listed into Guilty Anticipated Plea (GAP) and Not Guilty Anticipated Plea (NGAP) hearings each month. The case types you will review range from general low level offending to the more serious and complex crime and road traffic matters so the work is very interesting and varied. You will be responsible for ensuring these cases meet the National File Standard (NFS) for case file compilation and, where cases do not meet the required standard, you will provide written feedback to the Officer in the Case (OIC) and/or their supervisor, detailing the remedial work needed to be undertaken before the case can be re-submitted for a PCR. Where cases are on the cusp of the Statutory Time Limit (STL), you will seek immediate intervention with the Officer in the Case (OIC), their supervisor or division to prevent the loss of cases. This is a unique and truly rewarding role where you can have a real impact in supporting Sussex Police to give victims of crime a voice and to help secure the justice they deserve.
