Independent Custody Visitors – Local Volunteers
The City of London Corporation, in its capacity as the police authority for the Square Mile, is currently recruiting volunteers from the City to act as Independent Custody Visitors (ICV).
The Police Committee has agreed a Scheme which safeguards the welfare of people detained in City of London Police Stations. As part of this Scheme, independent visitors are appointed to carry out regular checks on the conditions under which detainees are kept. It is an important and valuable role in the local community, particularly through maintaining public confidence in this important area of policing.
The main duties of a visitor are to attend local police stations on a monthly basis and carry out inspections of the cells. Each visit should last no longer than two hours. Although ICVs are unpaid, any incurred expenses would be reimbursed. You will be provided with all relevant training. Volunteers can be either residents or City workers and require no formal qualifications, although they must be over 18 and cannot be justices of the peace, serving police officers or civilian employees; members from the City of London Corporation or special constables
