Combined with the extra 79 officers and staff and 25 posts saved thanks to last year’s precept – this means that by the end of this financial year, over 200 posts will have been added to the police establishment. After a decade where police resources have been stretched to the limit, I believe this is really good news for residents. The 150 extra officers and staff this year will bolster Surrey Police’s neighbourhood policing teams, help tackle issues such as burglary, serious organised crime and drugs, aid the Force’s prevention work and support the fight against growing issues such as online crime.
