What is
neighbourhood policing?

Police Officers on the high street

Our style of policing means that wherever you live or work in Surrey there is a dedicated Safer Neighbourhood Team on hand, helping to make the county one of the safest in England and Wales.

Each team provides a visible presence in a neighbourhood and works closely with our partners and the public to tackle anti-social behaviour, solve crime and build community confidence. They deal with the priority issues and concerns of the people in their area – and keep the community updated on progress made on previous priorities.

A Safer Neighbourhood Team mixes the skills of specially trained Police Constables (Neighbourhood Specialist Officers) with those of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). The team is fully supported by response officers, detectives and other Surrey Police officers. Together they ensure that your neighbourhood is policed around the clock.

Each borough also has a team of professionals that work with the Neighbourhood Team to target particular issues concerning licensed premises, youth behaviour, road safety and crime prevention.

The borough is led by a neighbourhood commander, supported by a team of sergeants.

Our style of policing relies on good relationships with our partners and the public. Please contact your local officers with any concerns or issues you have around crime, antisocial behaviour or road safety.
