Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey
  • Police and Crime Commissioner

I’m Lisa and I have lived in Surrey for over 12 years with my husband Ben and our two cats. 

I was elected in 2021 to be the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey. It's a great honour to represent local residents. 

I love where we live, and I want our county to be as safe, secure, and enjoyable as possible for all residents. I know the importance of putting local people and their priorities at the heart of policing. My priorities which feed in to my Police and Crime Plan, are based on the issues residents across the county have repeatedly raised with me, and include: tackling anti-social behaviour, improving visible policing, cracking down on county lines, improving road safety and enforcement, setting local policing priorities, and holding the police to account. I am also committed to tackling violence against women and improving protection for children.
