Making Policing Accessible

I want to ensure that policing is accessible and that residents are confident that Surrey Police will always be there when you need them.

Too often when people need to speak to someone about a crime or anti-social behaviour they feel as though they are passed from one agency or call handler to another, without any resolution.

Residents of Surrey need to be at the heart of everything we do in Surrey Police and we've made huge strides already, but there is more that we can do, both through technology and better training to officers and staff.
