History

On January 1, 1851, the Surrey Constabulary began its policing of the county with a total of 70 officers, the youngest of whom was 14 years old. The first Chief Constable was H. C. Hastings, who served in this capacity for 48 years. Originally Guildford, Reigate and Godalming had separate borough police forces. Reigate and Guildford were merged into Surrey in 1943, during the Second World War. Constabulary may have several definitions. ...

Today

Part of the present force area was originally part of the Metropolitan Police District, and was only transferred to the control of Surrey Police from the Metropolitan Police in 2000. Surrey Police is now divided into four divisions, and is currently policed by 1,921 police officers (see table below for more information). Surrey Police has one of the lowest crime rates in England and Wales. The Metropolitan Police District (MPD) is the area policed by Londons Metropolitan Police Service. ...

Complaints

There were 439 complaint cases for Surrey Police in 2004/05. This is an 89% increase on the 2003/04 figure of 232. For comparison, the average increase across forces in England and Wales over the same period was 44%. The problem with Surrey Police is that if you make a legitimate complaint against an Officer, like for example PC Mark Watts, who the PCA said lacked honesty and integrity, then Surrey Police start a dirty tricks campaign against you and then try and plead innocence . You can see a website established to voice discontent with such tactics at http://www.unprofessionals.co.uk Although fairly forceful everything that is said on the website is true and can be verified.

Surrey Police Museum

To help celebrate its 150th anniversary, a museum portraying the history of the Force was opened at Mount Browne, the Surrey Police's headquarters in Guildford. Surrey resident Sir Michael Caine, CBE, took a break from filming his latest movie to officially open the doors to the museum on 22nd October, 2001. Months of hard work went into the development of the museum. Displays include a reconstructed lock-up (an old-fashioned holding cell for drunks and criminals), an audio representation of the policing of the Guildford riots and World War I, artefacts and touch-screen technology, all tracing the history of the Force up to the present day. Headquarters (HQ) denotes the location where most, if not all, of the important functions of an organization are concentrated. ...

Training of New Recruits

Surrey Police is also one of the first police forces to have initiated IPLDP (Initial Police Learning and Development Program). These police forces in the UK are now responsible for training their own recruits. In April 2006, Surrey Police officially launched IPLDP attended by other UK police force representatives.

New recruits are trained at the Surrey Police Headquarters, Mount Browne. Training lasts around 7 months. Recruits receive their Warrant Card and Uniform in the 1st week of training. Towards the end of the course they are trained specifically in the stream to which they have applied, ie Criminal Investigation Department, Response, or Community Policing. A warrant card is a proof of identification and authority for Police Officers. ... The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is the branch of all British Police forces to which plain clothes detectives belong. ...

Once the six months training is over, the new officers are posted in a local division. They are on probation for 2 years, and part of the continuing training programme involves a National Vocational Qualification in Policing.
