Every neighbourhood in Thames Valley has a dedicated Neighbourhood Policing team.

Neighbourhood Policing teams can be contacted via 101, the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number. Always call 999 in an emergency.

Neighbourhood Policing teams…

• Are led by senior police officers and include police community support officers (PCSOs), often together with volunteer police officers, volunteers and partners.
• May serve one or several neighbourhoods.
• Work with local people and partners to identify, tackle and prevent local, low-level crime, anti-social behaviour, and any ongoing concerns.
• Provide you with a visible, accessible and accountable police service and aim to make your neighbourhood safer.
• Have been present in every Thames Valley neighbourhood since 1 April 2008.
• Focus all of their efforts on their dedicated neighbourhoods, building relationships with local people.

Neighbourhood Policing…

• Needs you to tell us about the issues that concern you in your area.
• Has transformed policing at a local level, to meet the needs of local communities.
• Is known as ‘Safer Neighbourhoods’ in Milton Keynes.

From the start of 2010, Thames Valley Police extended its neighbourhood consultation by introducing a wider range of publicised opportunities to meet neighbourhood teams.

We will provide open monthly meetings to allow the public to influence our priorities. These meetings will be branded as Have Your Say opportunities, and in many cases will be held in conjunction with partners.

Once local priorities have been identified, a broader ‘toolkit’ of problem-solving tactics is being made available to ensure crime and anti-social behaviour is tackled effectively.

Across the Thames Valley area, there are many successful Neighbourhood Action Groups which will continue to deliver local problem solving, but the introduction of Have Your Say meetings will allow neighbourhood teams to identify more quickly those specific local priorities that need attention.

Thames Valley Police views the introduction of Have Your Say meetings as a positive step in tackling issues that matter most to the public. I welcome your support and engagement in this endeavour.

Begging at Broadfields retail park and Co-op Fairford Leys.

We are conducting regular patrols in both areas and engaging with any persons found begging. The issue is made more complex with members of the public and retail staff actively buying food and drink for these individuals and therefore encouraging them to remain. Information gathered also suggests that these males are being used as look out’s for shoplifters, highlighting any Police Patrols.
