Oversight and feedback
Your Commissioner monitors closely how complaints are handled by Surrey Police and receives regular updates on the Force’s performance. In addition, random dip-checks of complaints files held by Surrey Police’s Professional Standards Department (PSD) are also regularly carried out by the Complaints and Compliance Lead to ensure that the Force’s complaints handling systems and procedures are adequate and effective.
The Chief Constable is also held to account in relation to overall performance of the force through Public Performance and Accountability Meetings chaired by the Police and Crime Commissioner.
More information about how we hold Surrey Police to account in this area is contained in our Self-Assessment of our Complaints Handling Function.
The Force and our office welcome your comments and will use the information you provide to improve the service offered to all our communities. If you have any questions about the work of our office, please contact us.
