Hate crime will not be tolerated in Surrey. Surrey’s profile of hate crime is constantly developing and we rely on those affected coming forward and making reports. 

Victims having the confidence in both themselves and us to make reports is incredibly important if we are to know the true extent of hate crime in our county.
