Surrey’s Policing Priorities for 2022
Last week our new Police and Crime Commissioner, Lisa Townsend, conducted a survey, asking residents for our views on policing priorities for the county over the next three years.
She has now published Surrey Police’s priorities, presumably based on our feedback. These are:
• Reducing violence against women and girls in Surrey
• Protecting people from harm in Surrey
• Working with Surrey communities so that they feel safe
• Strengthening relationships between Surrey Police and Surrey residents
• Ensuring safer Surrey roads
You can read more about these priorities here [https://www.surrey-pcc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Police-and-Crime-Plan-2021-25-1.pdf]
Whilst these are all laudable objectives the word “crime” does not seem to appear anywhere. Local residents are still having their cars stolen and broken into, drugs are being dealt on Tattenham Corner pavements, a number of the Tattenham Corner shops have been broken into and many of use are having to be very wary of scammers. If our police could try a little harder in responding to, investigating and solving crime maybe we would have a bit more faith in them.
