Frimley Green Crime Intelligence

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) refers to a wide range of crimes and abusive behaviours that disproportionately affect women and girls, although people of all genders can be victims. These offences cause significant physical, emotional, psychological, and social harm, and their impact often extends beyond individuals to families and communities. There have been an increase in exposure offences reported in the borough of Surrey Heath.

Surrey Police is committed to pursuing those who are committing these types of offences. We are aware that VAWG offences are underreported and our team are engaging with the community to encourage reporting and using 999 when there is a crime in progress. Increased patrols are being completed in places that have been targeted for these types of offences. The neighbourhood team are working with our proactive team to arrange days of action with specially trained officers to observe and intervene when necessary.

Our team are committed to proactively pursuing those who are causing anti-social behaviour with drug taking and dealing. Visible patrols will continue to be made by local officers who have also been working with the local housing team to deal with these incidents.

Visible patrols will continue to be made of the park including the Basingstoke Canal by the local police team. Officers are working closely with the Local Authority and Park Rangers to identify offenders.
