StreetSafe | Surrey Police

StreetSafe is a service for anyone to anonymously tell Police about public places where they feel unsafe, because of environmental issues, eg street lighting, abandoned buildings or vandalism and/or because of some behaviours, eg being followed or verbally abused.

Please note: ‘StreetSafe’ is not for reporting crime or incidents, it is a way anyone can anonymously document concerns regarding any “dark spots” or “concerns regarding people congregating.

This then allows us to collate the information and tackle the issues.

Herbert Protocol | Surrey Police

The Herbert Protocol is a form that carers, family or friends of a vulnerable person, or the person themselves can fill in.

It contains a list of information to help the police if the person goes missing, including:

• medication required

• mobile numbers

• places previously located

• a recent photograph

Our Pegasus scheme is for people who find it hard to communicate with us – Police keep pre-registered information safe and we can access it quickly someone.

Anyone who has a disability or illness that may make it hard to communicate with the police in an emergency or difficult situation.
