What we do
Policing one of England's largest counties presents us with
continually evolving challenges as we serve our diverse and vibrant
communities.
Specialist teams are responsible for the security of our ports
along the coast and for Gatwick Airport: they work with their
colleagues across Surrey, Kent and Hampshire as well as HM
Coastguard to provide the most effective cross-border policing for
the south-east of England.
Although they all have specific skills, our teams of dog
handlers, specialist search units, roads policing and tactical
firearms units all work in unison to ensure the success of
large-scale operations around public order, counter terrorism and
major incidents.
While some of our work makes the headlines, much of our daily
work is much lower in profile but no less important: we find
missing persons, protect vulnerable residents and keep our
communities safe.
Behind the scenes, police staff collect intelligence and run the
operational side of our organisation so that our frontline officers
can do what they do best.
