About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

  • Priority:

    Local officers will conduct regular high-visibility patrols in hotspot areas, using intelligence-led policing to target known offenders of Serious Acquisitive Crime (SAC), and work closely with local residents and partners to develop intelligence and deter and prevent these crimes. Officers will also support victims with crime prevention advice and promoting property marking schemes to deter repeat offences.

    Actioned 08 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) is a Borough-wide priority. ASB is behaviour that causes harassment, alarm or distress to other people. It takes many forms, from aggressive, noisy or abusive behaviour to neighbourhood disturbances involving drugs, abandoned cars or animals. It can include both criminal and non-criminal behaviour. If you’ve witnessed antisocial behaviour, please report it to us. Local officers will be kept up to date on issues of anti-social behaviour and will work with relevant partners to take appropriate action.

    Issued 08 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Cobham Services
    Cobham Services has experienced ongoing issues with crime and anti-social behaviour. There have been a number of break-ins involving HGVs parked overnight, including theft of fuel and property. These incidents have caused financial loss and distress to drivers and have negatively impacted their confidence in the safety of the site. Through visible policing, engagement, and partnership working, police can improve reporting, share intelligence, and work collaboratively to reduce crime, increase safety, and restore confidence for all those who use and work at Cobham Services. the car parks, and intimidation of other site users. There are ongoing policing operations, both overt and covert targeting this criminality.

  • Priority:

    Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is a Borough-wide priority. VAWG describes behaviours which are committed primarily, although not exclusively, by men against women. This can include a wide variety of offences. Local officers will work with partner agencies, using a variety of resources and powers to identify and target VAWG offenders, and locations where women and girls feel unsafe.

    Issued 08 June 2026

    Action taken:

    We have organised a number of opportunities for women within the borough to engage with officers and learn about how we are tackling violence against women and girls, as well as raise awareness of the issue. We activity identify known perpetrators within Elmbridge:

    - Subject A was regularly acting inappropriately towards women and girls on buses traveling through the borough. Officers worked to obtain a Sexual Harm Prevention
    Order (SHPO) which prevents him travelling on public transport at certain times and forces him to create an auditable trail of movements.
    - Subject B was regularly engaging in inappropriate conversations with women around Cobham Village. Officers served a Criminal Behaviour Warning on the individual.

    Throughout the summer months we will work with a number of licensed events to introduce safeguards which we hope will reduce the likelihood of offending linked to VAWG.
    Dedicated patrols of night-time economy, including use of specially trained Behavioural Detection Officers.
    Enhanced licensing visits and promotion of initiatives such as ‘Ask Angela’
    Working with local event organisers to promote ‘VAWG Safe’ events.

    Actioned 08 June 2026

Our focus is on preventing the exploitation of vulnerable people and children by organised crime groups (OCGs), to disrupt county line activity and reduce drug related violence. Local officers will develop intelligence around OCGs and County lines, which they will use to disrupt those who exploit vulnerable people in our communities, and will use appropriate powers to safeguard victims of exploitation.
