F.) O le a le ofisa o leoleo o Surrey i le taimi nei?

Ua faatupulaia le 333 leoleo o Surrey i le fa tausaga talu ai ona o lafoga a la outou fono faatasi ai ma le polokalame siitia a le Malo.

Leoleo (e pei o le 31 Mati)	1,930	1,994	2,114	2,159	2,263

F.) E fia la'u lafoga a le aufono e alu i le Ofisa o Leoleo ma le Komesina o Soligatulafono?

I le 2024/25, o le tala fa'atatau o galuega a le Ofisa o le PCC e £1.6m mai le aofa'i o le paketi a le Surrey Police Group e £309.7m (0.5%).

The budget for our office is primarily used to provide funding to local services that promote community safety, help victims and reduce reoffending. In 2023/24,we provided over £2m to local services from the budget and secured additional funding from the Home Office that paid for bespoke community safety projects and more support for the survivors of sexual violence, stalking and domestic abuse.

F.) E fia le totogi o Leoleo ma le Komesina o Soligatulafono?

E maua e le Komesina i Surrey se totogi e £73,300 pa. E maua e le Sui Komesina le totogi e £54, 975 pa.

Oe mafai ona matamata i le tului ma tupe alu fa'aalia mo le Komesina ma le Sui Komesina iinei.

F.) E fia le tupe o lo'o fa'asaoina e Leoleo a Surrey?

In 2023/24, Surrey Police met its savings target of £1.6m. The Force still needs to save at least £17m over the next four years.

In the last 12 years, the Force has made close to £80m in savings and is on target for the target savings for the current financial year ending 31 March. The Force is currently undergoing a transformation programme that is designed to ensure we provide the best possible value for money for the public.

Q.) Why wasn’t there an option for ‘no increase’ in the council tax survey?

O le matafaioi a le Komesina le setiina o se tulaga o le mataupu e talafeagai e lagolago ai le auaunaga e tuuina atu e lau leoleo.

E pei foi o isi auaunaga, o le tau o le tau ose itu taua lea i le mamao o le paketi a leoleo i le totogiina o mea e pei o le suauu ma le malosi. Afai e maualuga le tamaoaiga, o lona uiga o le tau o se mea poʻo se tautua e foliga mai e sili atu nai lo le tupe masani na faʻaagaga muamua mo lea faʻamoemoe.

The UK CPI inflation rate in October 2023 of 4.7% means that all of the options provided in this year’s council tax survey were below inflation at that point in time. A maximum increase of £13 a year based on a Band D property is equivalent to a 4.1% rise across all council tax bands.

Similarly, an option of ‘no increase’, or a ‘freeze’ to the amount you pay would represent a particularly significant cut to the funding that Surrey Police receives. Specifically, it would represent the value of last year’s council tax against the increased costs and demand for policing that are already affecting the service you receive.

Mo le tausaga fa'aletupe 2024/25, ua fa'atatau e Leoleo a Surrey e mana'omia le toesea o tagata faigaluega pe a ma le 160 e fa'amalieina pe a leai se si'itaga i le tulaga o lafoga a le fono e maua.

As the variation in council tax increase is cumulative, meaning a new percentage increase is based on the previous amount set, a significant decrease to council tax in one year would continue to have a negative impact on the value of possible increases in future years.

F.) E fia le aofa'i o tupe fa'aagaga a Surrey Police? Aisea e le mafai ai ona faʻaaogaina e faʻatupe ai leoleo i le lotoifale?

Ole tele o fa'alapotopotoga, kamupani ma tagata ta'ito'atasi o le a taumafai e fa'aagaaga ni tupe - e pei o se teugatupe - e fa'afetaui ai tau fa'afuase'i, fa'alavelave fa'afuase'i ma fa'aputu mo se tupe tele.

Surrey Police is no different and holds just over £30m in reserves, which is 10% of the total annual budget. This is slightly less than the average for police forces nationally and significantly lower than Borough and District Councils in Surrey who typically who hold up to 150% of their annual budget in reserve.

E tatau foi ona faafetaia'ia e le Malo le fa'atuputeleina o le mamafa o totogi, malosi ma suau'u fa'apea ma manaoga i leoleo. I le isi fa tausaga, e tatau ona faia i le va o le £ 17- 20m i tupe teu.

When Surrey Police’s current planned spending is set aside, the Force is left with approximately five weeks’ worth of running costs.

E ui ina latalata i le afa o tupe a le Force e maua mai i le Malo i tausaga taʻitasi, o faʻalavelave tetele ma suʻesuʻega e pei o le faʻamaʻi o le Covid-19 poʻo se osofaʻiga faʻatupu faʻalavelave e manaʻomia ai le tele o tupe e faʻaalu vave, e aunoa ma se faʻamautinoa o nei tau o le a totogi. tua e le Malo.

E mautinoa lava e mafai ona faʻaalu tupe faʻaagaga, e pei lava ona mafai e le tagata ona faʻaalu a latou tupe teu, e faʻaalu ai le siʻitia o tau pe faʻaititia le maualuga o lafoga a le fono e manaʻomia mai tagata lautele.

Ae ui i lea, o lenei tupe e naʻo le tasi e mafai ona faʻaalu. E na'o le fa'atuai ma fa'afaigata ai fa'ai'uga e mana'omia e fa'amautinoa ai le fa'atumauina o tupe a le Malo ma o lo'o tu'u mai tau e fetaui ma tupe maua.

F.) Na fa'amauina e Leoleo a Surrey se tupe fa'aalu i le 2022/23. Aisea ua le mafai ai ona faaaoga lea tupe e totogi ai nisi leoleo ma le aufaigaluega?

Surrey Police is a large organisation that has a budget of £309m and over 4,000 employees. When setting the budget, every effort is made ensure that as many circumstances as possible are thought of.

O fesuiaiga e ono aafia ai le paketi i le tausaga a sau e aofia ai:

• E toafia ni ofisa ma le aufaigaluega o le a litaea ma o afea?
  
  
• O afea o le a fa'afaigaluegaina ai ofisa fou ma le aufaigaluega? 
  
  
• O a fesoasoani o le a ofo atu e le Malo i le tausaga ae mo le a?
  
  
• O le a fa'aluaina le au ofisa Surrey mai le Malosi? O le a iai ni mea e fai i le atunuu?
  
  
• E a'afia le tau o le tau?
  
  
• O le a faia se fa'aleleia o meafaigaluega i lenei tausaga?
  
  

These and many other questions are assessed when setting the budget and sometimes, unfortunately, a wrong prediction can be made. In 2022/23, this is predicted to result in an underspend of £8.8m which, although it may sound a lot, is just over 2% of the total budget for the year.

In 2023/24, the predicted underspend is £1.2m (as at 31 January 2024).

O lenei tupe, e ui ina fa'afeiloa'i, e na'o se penefiti e tasi ma o lea e tu'u i totonu o fa'aagaaga, po'o sefe, e fa'afetaui ai lu'itau tau tupe i le lumana'i.
