Kevin Hurley, Zero Tolerance Policing, Police and Crime Commissioner, Surrey

Zero Tolerance Policing ex Chief

Force area:
Surrey

Kevin Hurley

Election statement:

With thirty years Police Experience, much at senior level and forty years 

as a Reservist Army Officer, I’ve seen a bit; confronting drunken hooligans, 

investigating murders, managing a multi-million pound policing budget, 

leading thousands of staff or rebuilding Policing in Iraq.

I’ve listened to residents over the years, that’s why I will:

Take a Zero Tolerance Policing Approach

Leading a relentless focus on those who blight our lives: Anti-Social Louts, 

Burglars and those dealing Drugs to our young. We will seize the profits of 

their crime to pay for:

Visible street policing; I’ll use my experience to save on office roles, 

paying for officers on the street.

Putting victims at the centre of the Criminal Justice system;

I’ll ensure that victims have a quality service from reporting a crime to giving 

evidence. The professionals in the Courts and Police work for you, sometimes 

they forget that.

Giving you the opportunity to have a greater say in how your 

streets are policed;

I’ll set up local policing boards to bring officers closer to neighbourhoods. 

You will be able to participate and have your views heard.

Protecting your local policing;

I’ll work with Police Chiefs improving the morale and ethos of service of 

your officers. I’ll do this by supporting them against unreasonable criticism 

and ensuring their efforts are valued. We cannot expect officers to take on 

criminals unless we back them.

Uncompromising in the standards you expect from your police;

With support comes an expectation that your police deliver a quality service. 

I will expect the chiefs to inspire their staff and unlock their passion to deliver 

a professional, courteous and positive approach. You pay for it; you have a 

right to expect it.

Surrey Police, Police England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner elections, 2012

Surrey Police



Kevin Hurley is standing as Zero Tolerance Policing Ex Chief. With thirty years Police Experience, much at senior level and forty years as a Reservist Army Officer, I’ve seen a bit; confronting drunken hooligans, investigating murders, managing a multi-million pound policing budget, leading thousands of staff or rebuilding Policing in Iraq.



Peter Williams is an independent candidate. If elected, I would bring to the role extensive experience of police oversight and governance developed over nine years as a Member of Surrey Police Authority, the last four as its Chairman. During this time, we have seen dramatic improvements in performance that have led to Surrey Police achieving some of the highest confidence levels nationally, notwithstanding severe financial challenges. Particularly noteworthy is the addition of 200 police officers since 2010 – the only Force nationally to introduce such an increase



Robert Evans, former Labour MEP, is the Labour candidate. As Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner I’ll be a strong independent voice for local people; opposing these savage Coalition cuts and privatisation plans, – plans which even the police say will irreparably damage the service. For too long Surrey has had fewer police than counties of comparable size.



Julie Iles, a Magistrate, is the Conservative candidate. I will bring a fresh approach to the office of Police & Crime Commissioner. 



Nick O'Shea is the Liberal Democrat candidate. Most candidates talk about catching more criminals, having more police on the beat and supporting victims, but without saying how these are possible with shrinking resources.
