Serious Acquisitive Crime (SAC) offences such as Burglary, Vehicle Crime and Theft

Although usually investigated by detectives, the neighbourhood teams will attend reported burglaries in order to conduct the initial enquires, attempt to identify those responsible, to provide reassurance and crime prevention advice. We continue to conduct ANPR operations within the South Buckinghamshire area in order to identify and deprive criminals using vehicles to enter our area. A specific operation has seen the Neighbourhood Policing teams working with the Joint Operations Unit to target our most vulnerable areas. During these operations, we responded to numerous suspicious incidents, burglaries in progress, made arrests and located stolen vehicles and property.

Speeding remains a community priority, and we continue to look for opportunities to enhance the enforcement work, already conducted by our dedicated units.

The Community Speed Watch scheme is a great opportunity for locals who feel strongly about Speeding, to volunteer their time in monitoring speeds, in areas highlighted as a concern by fellow residents. This is an advisory scheme, which looks to warn speeders as to the risks they present, and is clearly effective, with a 95% rate in preventing re-offending.

Anti Social Behaviour
Our Neighbourhood Teams receive a range of anti social behaviour reports on a regular basis. These can be categorised as Community, Environmental or Personal. Most of our current workload within the Anti-Social Behaviour category stems from neighbour disputes, which include noise disturbances, arguments, cannabis smells, inconsiderate parking, boundary/Civil disputes, hate crimes and allegations of harassment. Predominantly, these victims feel that they are personally targeted, due to living in close proximity to the alleged offenders.

Each case is assessed as part of our risk management processes. While our primary role is always to address Criminal offences, highly concerning cases can also be referred to Buckinghamshire Council’s Anti-Social Behaviour Action Group, from greater partnership intervention; working with agencies such as Housing, Environmental Health and mediation charities. With the help of external partners and organisations, some of these incidents can be resolved swiftly. In other cases, parties can often become emotionally invested in these neighbourly disputes making them tougher to resolve, in these cases longer-term problem-solving management is utilised. A common example of how we deal with such cases would be laying down rules for those involved, by means of an Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) or Good Neighbour Agreement, with these in place we will continue to monitor the case and work with the parties involved until no longer necessary.

The neighbourhood teams continue to deal with these disputes and other ASB reports daily, and look to both problem solve and enforce where necessary.
