Chief Inspector Rowley was part of a panel at the Surrey County Council "Have Your Say" event in Chertsey. I took the opportunity to praise the force for the importance placed on neighbourhood policing in recent years and to ask the Chief Inspector for reassurance that this would continue. I pointed out the excellent service provided by PC Parish (pictured) in Horsell.
The Chief Inspector said that Surrey Police were committed to continuing community policing and despite a programme of reducing more senior officers was still recruiting new officers. He explained that the force was losing back office staff and buildings but keeping police.
This is very good news for Horsell where having a dedicated local police officer has really made a difference to low level crime and anti-social behaviour in our village.
