It’s been published by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services.
It found some progress in emergency response times and more criminals being charged, especially for shoplifting and serious crimes.
The force also showed improvement in handling violence against women and better every day policing in local communities.
The Chief Constable says big changes are planned in May to help the force improve further and deal with future challenges.
Chief Constable Tim De Meyer said, “I welcome today’s PEEL report and accept its findings.
“The period covered by this inspection reflects the first two years of our five-year strategy, which prioritises fighting crime, protecting people, and earning public trust.
“The PEEL report is a fair assessment of our progress made so far, and the improvements still required. We are grateful for the acknowledgement of continued improvement across the force.
“The inspection found encouraging early progress under our five year plan, reporting how we have maintained our good record in crime prevention, problem solving, and visible neighbourhood policing while addressing previous areas of weakness such as response times and charge rates.
“On 10 May we will implement our most important organisational restructure in a generation, a much-needed change to longstanding structures and arrangements. This will ensure that we are resilient and prepared for the crime and policing challenges ahead.
“I am grateful to every officer, member of staff, and volunteer in Surrey Police for their hard work and resilience. Together we are determined to serve victims tirelessly, pursue criminals relentlessly and cut crime in our county.”
