Cobham people said they are willing to put their fears about the future of policing in the region of side until officials move to a base in the centre of the village.
Business owners have recommended that force considers moving its headquarters at the St Andrew Cedar Road, old school teams if, as expected, the station is closed.
Two meetings were held in the village on Monday and Thursday this week for the consultation of the force in the future of policing in the whole of the borough.
Cobham in Portsmouth police station Road is likely to be sold, accompanied by Molesey stations is, Esher and Walton.
Operations performed by neighbourhood officers in Esher should go to Council at the Civic Center district offices.
David Worsfold, owner of newsagents Farrants in Cobham High Street, said that he was widely support plans to move the police officers to a place where they would be visible to the residents.
"The last thing I want to see is their movement even more off and perhaps ranging in a mobile unit somewhere", he said.
"I told my insurance could be rarely used but I still have it y because it is very rassurant.Je see stations of police exactly like that."
"There is a sense that they sell a silver in the family."
Cedar Road school site is currently empty except for Cobham library.It is used to House a centre of education and youth.
Mr. Worsfold presented proposals for the site of the Surrey County Council earlier this year.
The plan is to include a new public library 5900 feet square above a retail shopping area and an underground parking space 56.
"I greatly support proposals because police that many people consider as reasonable to have at the same place," added Mr. Worsfold.
"I could fully support the police with a visible presence in the city centre".
However, Ken Purssey, President of Cobham and Downside Residents' Association, said that Surrey police has yet to answer many questions about its intentions.
"I think it is very important to have a police presence in Cobham, because it is a large region," he said.
"At this time, consultation is really just all sectors in the sky.
"What are they going to do with the building? they will sell and raise tenure cash or rent it? and that will happen in a few years if any money is exhausted and they continue to raise?
Elmbridge public consultation period runs until to Tuesday 16 November and residents may take part in this online.
The results will be presented to the authority of Surrey Police in December.
District Inspector Richard Haycock said: "what we're eager to know residents is where they find it easier to meet and talk to their local agents, as well as suggestions so they can work off-site.
"I would also like to reassure people that regardless of any modifications to buildings, your local neighbourhood team continue to patrol the same areas, they do now."
