Measuring performance

Engagement

Over the last year, I’ve continued to hear your views around the county, including in a fresh series of events jointly held in person and online with the Chief Constable and local police teams on the issues that matter to you where you live.

I’ve also been out with officers in our towns and villages, and met with retailers, local charities and our other partners to understand how we can make Surrey safer together.

I’ve then sat down with the Chief Constable and shared our discussions on the latest performance live, so that you can follow what we’re doing on key topics including anti-social behaviour and visible policing.

Together with my Deputy PCC, I’ve attended special events including the Surrey Police Family Day and the Epsom Derby and have accepted interviews and been featured by the local media close to 200 times on issues including violence against women and girls and mental health.

Setting the amount that you pay for policing from your council tax is one of the toughest decisions I must make, and I am grateful to the 3,000 people who had their say in my survey and left comments that continue to shape the service you receive.

My team have continued to keep residents up to date with the latest news and on social media, posts from my office were watched, clicked or shared close to 50,000 times. Signing up to my regular newsletter is another great way to see the impact we’re making.

I want to hear your views on local policing and encourage you to contact me or request a surgery appointment using my website.
