The City of Surrey's Crime Reduction Strategy is an innovative, problem-solving approach to addressing the causes and effects of crime.

The collaborative Strategy, involving more than 100 individuals and 50 community groups and organizations, as well as all 3 levels of government, seeks to:

• apply international best practices and standards tailored specifically to address Surrey’s needs.
• address matters that traditionally have not been included in crime prevention initiatives such as: pre-natal care, early childhood development and addressing homelessness. These are in addition to the more well known areas of target hardening, tougher sentencing and speeding up of the justice system.
