Полициско Сари 2023-24

Frontline policing protected in Surrey over the next year thanks to your contributions

This year’s increase of £15 in the policing element of your council tax based on Band D property means Surrey Police can continue to protect frontline services and take the fight to criminals in our communities.

The Force has been working really hard to recruit this year’s share of extra officers from the government’s national uplift programme.

Together with additional posts made possible by the amount you pay in council tax, that will mean over 300 extra officers will have been recruited into Surrey Police since 2019 which is
great news for residents.

Asking the public for more money during a cost of living crisis has been an incredibly difficult decision. But the Surrey Police budget is under considerable strain with huge pressure on pay, energy and fuel costs. No increase would have inevitably led to cuts which would ultimately affect the service to our residents.

Your council tax contributions are vital in sustaining police numbers across the county and helping provide our new recruits with the right support, training and development. This will mean we can get more officers on the streets in our communities as soon as we can, keeping people safe during these difficult times.

£159.60 million or 56% of the budget of Surrey Police and our Office comes from the council tax amount you pay towards policing. This is just over half of the total budget.

£126.60 million or 44% of the budget comes from the Government. This is less than the total paid by tax payers in Surrey.
