Security
At Hello Dorking, we understand that a strong community thrives on trust. This trust is especially crucial for businesses and visitors, who seek an environment where safety is a given and vigilance is a constant. That’s why we’ve designed an integrated security framework, fortified by collaborative relationships with local authorities, the police and most importantly – our member businesses and community residents.
Our policing and safety WhatsApp group has contributed to connecting businesses and supporting a safer Dorking. If you’re a Dorking business, enquire to join.
Dorking BID Guild Talks
We know that now more than ever we need to work together to keep our town safe and welcoming. We have hosted the Police and Crime Commissioner at our Dorking BID Guild Talk in April and are welcoming the Surrey Police at our next talk in July.
