Retail Crime is a National Priority, and has a significant impact on both businesses and consumers. Surrey Police are dedicated to supporting the businesses that are being repeatedly targeted, as retail workers are often subject to abuse and violence. Hotspot retail crime locations and repeat offenders are the current focus.

Our PCSOs have been holding engagement events in hotspot retail crime locations to increase visibility and ensure that shop staff feel supported. Surrey Police has been working with these businesses to improve crime reporting, and have been working closely with neighbouring forces to help identify suspects and take the appropriate action.

Continuing reports of anti-social behaviour and anti-social driving within rural areas. This has significant impacts on communities, including economic, social and environmental.

Local officers are regularly completing more patrols and engagements in rural areas, especially those that have been reporting anti-social behaviour, to show more of a visible presence in the community. Our team is aiming to respond to more ASB calls in person, and further day action is planned with rural partners and the community to conduct reassurance patrols and education on crime prevention techniques
