Undercover police officers take to Surrey's streets to tackle harassment of female runners
Surrey Police is bringing back its Jog On campaign after recording more than 100 incidents of sex-based harassment since April.
Female police officers are heading out for runs across Surrey in plain clothes as part of a renewed crackdown on harassment and intimidation.
The force has relaunched its Jog On campaign, which sees undercover officers jogging in key locations, with support teams nearby ready to step in if they experience harassment.
The move follows 105 reports of sex-based harassment across Surrey since new legislation came into force in April 2026.
Police say 17 cases remain under investigation, while two have resulted in charges under the new offence.
The campaign, first launched in 2025, aims to challenge behaviour including unwanted sexual comments and intimidation, while helping women feel safer exercising outdoors.
Temporary Inspector Nicola West said: "No woman or girl should feel intimidated, harassed or unsafe simply because she has chosen to go for a run."
Officers will also work with local running clubs to identify areas where women feel particularly vulnerable.
Under the new legislation, intentional sex-based harassment can carry a maximum prison sentence of two years.
