Dear resident, 

What crimes do you think police should be tackling where you live? Now is the chance to have your say! 

Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend is urging Surrey residents to fill in a brief survey that will help shape policing in the county for the next three years.

You can select what issues you want to see Surrey Police focus on as part of the consultation for her new Police and Crime Plan which is currently underway.

Your answers will help the Commissioner draw up her Plan which will launch early next year and provide the blueprint for policing in the county until 2028.

It is anonymous, only takes a few minutes to complete and can be filled in here:

Surrey Police and Crime Plan 2025-28 Public Consultation

The survey, which launched in October, will close on Thursday, 12 December 2024.

Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend said: “My mission is clear – I want Surrey Police to focus on tackling those crimes that blight our local communities and to target persistent offenders and take them off our streets.

“I know there are issues that consistently cause concern our communities such as anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, drug crime, the safety of women and girls and visible policing.

“I want to hear from you about what is happening where you live and what you want to see your police teams focus on in the future.

“We have a good response so far to the survey and I want to thank all those who have already filled it in. 

“But it is really important to me to hear from as many people as possible so if you haven’t done so already – please do take a few minutes to let me know what you think.

“Surrey Police is making great strides in tackling crime across the county with 3,500 more charges over the last year which is great news for our residents.

“I want to sustain that progress but there are financial challenges ahead and some tough choices will have to be made on where we focus our resources.

“That is why I want to concentrate on what the Surrey public tell me is important to them and create a Police and Crime Plan that puts their priorities at the heart of the policing service they receive.” 

Kind regards, 

Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner
