Job Details

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 have hired over 615 police officers and 500 civilian support staff. As we continue to hire exceptional individuals, SPS 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

Reporting to the Sergeant, Missing Persons Team (MPT), the Detective Constable assigned to the Missing Persons Team is responsible for conducting investigations into medium to high-risk missing person cases, including those that are historical and complex in nature. This role involves assessing risk, coordinating with frontline officers, and managing investigative strategies aligned with Major Case Management principles.

The Detective Constable works collaboratively with community partners, government agencies, and other law enforcement bodies to locate missing individuals and resolve cases with sensitivity and thoroughness. This position requires expertise in applying trauma-informed investigative approaches, ensuring adherence to legal standards, and preparing comprehensive investigative reports to support case resolution and judicial processes.

Leads and supports missing persons investigations through evidence collection, victim and family liaison, and detailed Occurrence Report documentation.

Coordinates the collection of physical evidence in collaboration with Forensic Identification Services and other specialized investigative teams.

Conducts interviews with relevant parties including family members, friends, witnesses, and other individuals connected to missing persons cases.

Manages assigned investigative files, ensuring timely documentation, adherence to investigative standards, and application of the Major Case Management model where appropriate.

Locates and supports individuals connected to investigations, including those who may require witness protection measures or victim support, and facilitates referrals to Victim Services as needed.

Prepares and obtains judicial authorizations, including search warrants, production orders, and demand orders under the BC Missing Persons Act.

Applies current investigative techniques and evidence gathering methods, including technology-based tools such as surveillance, digital forensics, and data analysis.

Secures and preserves investigative scenes related to missing person cases, ensuring proper application of policy and an understanding of available forensic resources.

Reviews sudden death and unidentified human remains (UHR) investigations, providing investigative guidance when required to assist in the verification of identity, locating next of kin, and ensure linkages to any outstanding missing persons cases are made.

Act as a central liaison for the Coroner Service and when necessary, assume the role of primary point of contact for families or next of kin for sudden death or UHR investigations that become prolonged or require additional resources.

Actively contributes to team effectiveness by sharing insights, maintaining open communication, and supporting collective decision-making and problem-solving.

Builds and maintains strong working relationships with internal SPS units, external agencies, community partners, and other stakeholders to support investigations.

Works within the designated shift schedule, including participation in after-hours consultation or on-call rotations, based on operational requirements.
