Our board-approved strategic plan puts an emphasis on creating a diverse and accountable police service that is focused on community-based policing practices and public safety. 

SPS’s strategic plan is informed through extensive community consultation and stakeholder relations. SPS uses a combination of opinion surveys, stakeholder interviews, and focus groups to develop the strategies and priorities within its strategic plan. 

Strategic priorities 

SPS's 2025 strategic plan was developed in collaboration between SPS staff and the Board and was informed by the community consultation work that was completed in Summer 2024. This plan will help set the direction for 2025 and position SPS for success as the local, modern police service for Surrey. 

• Our Organization: creating a diverse and skilled organization with a focus on human resources, IT development, operational readiness, and risk mitigation.  

• Our People: fostering a competent and resilient organization that emphasizes employee wellness and modern training practices.  

• Our Community: building a locally based community policing model that features a high-level of community input focusing on youth and Indigenous communities.
