His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) independently assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of police forces and fire & rescue services.

As Police & Crime Commissioner, I provide a response to all HMICFRS inspections relating to Surrey Police, and these can be viewed on our Data Hub, along with the original report and any recommendations.

Colourful graphic showing the outcomes of the Police Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy Inspection (PEEL) published in 2023. The graphic shows the Force is 'good' at preventing and deterring crime and ASB and reducing vulnerability and managing offenders and suspects. It is 'adequate' at police powers and treating people fairly and respectfully, investigating crime, protecting vulnerable people, and leadership and force management. It 'requires improvement' at crime data integrity and building, supporting and protecting the workforce. It is 'inadequate' at responding to the public.
