SPS is guided by Peel’s Principles of effective, ethical policing. We know strong policing starts with trust, respect, and partnership with the community. That’s why we focus on building relationships and finding practical, community-based solutions. Our work is grounded in our motto: Safer. Stronger. Together.

We’re building a team that reflects the community we serve — one that values different backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. We hire the best people for the job while recognizing that diversity strengthens our organization. It brings broader thinking, better decision-making, and fewer blind spots. Most importantly, it helps create a workplace where everyone feels respected, included, and supported.

At SPS, respect matters. We’re committed to a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, bullying, and disrespect — one where people feel valued, supported, and treated with dignity. 

Policing is changing and at SPS, we see that as a chance to do things better. We support our people from day one and make health and wellness a priority, from uniforms and equipment to scheduling, training, and programs that support both mental and physical well-being.

It’s not enough to want to be the best, at SPS we invest in the training and learning that lead to innovative solutions, improved officer and civilian safety, and continuous improvement. We’re proud to be an employer that champions growth, with our own Surrey Police Training Centre delivering training for officers, recruits, and civilian staff.

Surrey is a fantastic place to live, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and growing opportunity. As one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, it combines the energy of an urban centre with the comfort of welcoming, diverse communities, where people from all backgrounds come together and contribute to a strong sense of belonging. Residents enjoy access to countless parks, forests, and beaches—earning Surrey its reputation as a “city of parks”—along with year‑round cultural events, great local food, and family-friendly amenities that make everyday life both active and connected.
