The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner monitors performance in all of the key areas of Surrey Police’s work in line with the Police and Crime Plan set for Surrey.
This forms a key part of the role of your Commissioner Lisa Townsend in holding the Chief Constable to account, and supporting improvements to the service that residents receive.
