Assistant Chief Contstable, Jerry Kirkby

The appointment of Jerry Kirkby to the charity’s governance group in 2011 builds further on the strong relationship between Surrey Police and KeepOut. Jerry attended an event at Coldingley Prison during 2010 and was so impressed with the work being carried out to divert young people away from crime that he volunteered to join the Board. Jerry leads on legal matters for KeepOut.

As Assistant Chief Constable in Surrey, Jerry´s role is to ensure the Force delivers on operational performance in line with the Local Policing Plan. He has had a long association with Surrey Police, beginning his career here as a Constable in 1983. In 1998 he transferred to the Metropolitan Police on promotion to Chief Inspector and also had two postings to Scotland Yard, the latter as the Head of Internal Communications and Publicity for the Met. In 2001 Jerry returned to Surrey and was promoted to Divisional Commander for West Surrey in 2002. In June 2005 he became National Director for the Neighbourhood Policing Programme and led a team that supported the 43 forces in implementing Neighbourhood Policing across England and Wales. In 2009 Jerry returned to Surrey when he was promoted to Assistant Chief Constable. He is also the ACPO lead for Police Community Support Officers.
