Community Safety Snapshot: Surrey & Langley
By Gaurav Sharma, Pinakin Security
October 02, 2025
The safety of our communities is a growing concern across Surrey, Langley, and the Lower Mainland. With rising populations and expanding businesses, the demand for professional security services has never been greater. At Pinakin Security & Technology Consultants Inc., we believe in empowering residents, businesses, and property managers with the right knowledge and tools to build safer communities. This community safety snapshot highlights crime statistics, key incidents, and actionable strategies tailored for both residential and commercial security needs.
Crime Trends in Surrey, Langley & the Lower Mainland
In Surrey, crime levels remain above the national average. According to Numbeo’s 2025 Crime Index, Surrey scores 64.7 on crime and 35.3 on safety, reflecting concerns about property crime and community perception. Data from the City of Surrey’s Crime Trends Report also shows that calls for police service have increased over the last decade, with property offences like theft from vehicles and break-ins being among the most common.
Langley City presents a mixed but improving picture. While property crime remains high, Statistics Canada’s Crime Severity Index (2024) recorded Langley’s lowest crime severity levels since 1998. Violent crime is considered moderate, but theft and vandalism continue to be reported regularly in RCMP updates and community feedback surveys.
Across the Lower Mainland, gang activity, opportunistic theft, and organized property crime remain consistent challenges. Many businesses and property managers are investing in CCTV surveillance, alarm monitoring, and mobile patrol security services as preventive measures.
Notable Incidents That Shaped Public Safety
Several high-profile incidents highlight why security services in Surrey and Langley remain essential:
The 2022 Langley Shootings, reported by CBC and RCMP, underscored the risks to public safety in community spaces.
The Surrey Six Massacre (2007) remains one of the region’s most notorious gang-related crimes, symbolizing the dangers of organized violence.
The transition from RCMP to the Surrey Police Service in 2024, as documented by the City of Surrey, marks a major shift in how policing is delivered and how communities are protected.
Actionable Security Strategies
At Pinakin Security, we recommend a layered approach that blends technology, manpower, and community collaboration:

These strategies are supported by evidence from RCMP bulletins and Public Safety Canada guidelines on crime prevention.
