Your safer neighbourhood team
Neighbourhood policing within Surrey Police is delivered by Safer Neighbourhood Teams in each of the 11 districts and boroughs of the County. Each neighbourhood within the districts and boroughs is served by a dedicated team of officers and staff.
Neighbourhood Teams provide community engagement, targeted foot patrols and collaborative problem solving to tackle the issues that cause the greatest harm in our communities. Teams are made of sergeants, police officers and PCSOs, led by the Borough Commander, with further support provided by other team members - with specialisms in youth engagement, licensing and crime prevention.

Shoplifting in the town centre.

We continue to see shoplifting offences reported from Tesco however, we are proactively dealing with the matter and bringing offenders to justice.
We have conducted engagements with local shops and are routinely using CCTV where there are offences committed to identify offenders using facial recognition. Following arrests made we have been issuing offenders with community protection warnings alongside the criminal investigation to prevent further offences.
