Surrey Police have made the following announcement:
Sunday April the 3rd saw the launch of the "Policing in Your Neighbourhood" restructure of Surrey Police. This means that there will be more of Surrey's uniformed officers per Borough responding to and investigating reports of crime and disorder. They will now be based in boroughs which means they will get to know the area and its residents/criminals. What this means for you is a greater police presence and a face and name that you will get to know as your investigation grows. It also means that the officer retains ownership of any calls they attend which means they will have a more personal attachment to their investigation.
Our CID department will investigate more serious crimes and offences requiring specialist investigation. They will also investigate matters that involve safeguarding vulnerable people.
There will still be a dedicated specialist neighbourhood team for Spelthorne this will consist of 2 sergeants, 2 PCs and 7 PCSOs (soon to be increased to 12). They are specialist officers who will problem solve serious chronic and long term neighbourhood issues.
Our priorities are to:
- Protect the most vulnerable
- Pursue criminals
- Prevent crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour
