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.

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.
View Have Your Say summary and flowchart (PDF 40 Kb - opens new window)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.

Priorities
| 30 Jan 2024 | Youth Crime and Exploitation Response (30 Jan 2024)The Neighbourhood Team for Didcot and Wallingford are taking robust action to prevent youth criminality and exploitation. Fostering good relations with our partner agencies, charities and relevant organisations has enabled us to have a broad insight into arising concerns and utilising the skills of our network to protect the community within our neighbourhood area. We currently are giving talks in local schools that help educate young people on understanding exploitation and grooming, as well as spotting the signs. We work with our partners to seek to divert youths away from criminal behaviours, such as drugs; criminal damage; anti-social behaviour (ASB) and harassment. One of our PCSOs, who used to be in the Army, has been helping tutor a young person, who has previously been involved with crime and exploitation, to get into the army as it was something they expressed an interest in. |
| 30 Jan 2024 | Anti-social behaviour (ASB) Response (30 Jan 2024)We continue to tackle isolated incidents of anti-social behaviour (ASB) as well as more entrenched issues such as ASB amongst young people at the Orchard Centre. We have identified key areas for demand reduction and are working alongside statutory and third-sector organisations in order to tackle long-standing problems. We support local businesses; identify prolific offenders and have recently delivered numerous banning letters for both specific shops/restaurants in the area and the shopping centre itself. We are committed to dealing with the issues that the community raises to us and develop a large quantity of intelligence to target areas of high threat and risk. We recently dealt with a group of youths from out of town who were causing issues including theft around the Orchard Centre and the Cinema in January. We were able to locate them and deal with them robustly which safeguarded the public and prevented any further issues. We hold monthly Have Your Say / ASB Surveys and amend our patrol areas in line with community feedback. |
| 30 Jan 2024 | Knife crime Response (30 Jan 2024)We continue to target key offenders, habitual knife carriers and members of County Drug Lines gangs across the district, disrupting their behaviour and making it clear that we have a zero tolerance approach to knife enabled crime. We are giving talks and lessons in local schools that highlight the dangers of carrying knives and the associated offences that may be being committed. We are constantly developing intelligence in order to carry out warrants under the Misuse of Drugs Act and continue to reach out to the community to share information on local offenders and those travelling into our sector to commit crime. We frequently update our patrol locations in alignment with community feedback and intelligence. Because of this, we have been able to help with the closing of a local cannabis factory; interrupt drug users in hot spot locations; successfully stop drug drivers and deal with them appropriately. We endeavour to use tools such as stop and search to disrupt and prosecute those most likely to be carrying a weapon or dealing drugs. |
