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

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.

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.

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
| 17 Jan 2024 | Anti-social behaviour Response (17 Jan 2024)Although there has been a significant reduction in Anti- Social Behaviour (ASB) within the Town, this still remains to be a high priority for the team. In taking steps towards reducing the crime committed in the area that is fuelled by anti-social behaviour the team have; prosecuted three suspects, cautioned one suspect, issued six community resolutions and successfully applied for a Community Behaviour Order. The team have also been working alongside statutory and third-sector organisations in order to introduce a youth provision to the town that will focus on education and diversion in hope to see a long term reduction in ASB. This is in the latter stages and the Town is soon to see more activities available to its younger community. Force analysts have been working with the team to identify hot-spot areas within the town where Anti-Social Behaviour is prevalent. The team ensure that these locations are visited repeatedly to engage with those that frequent them and take robust action when needed. |
| 17 Jan 2024 | Violence Against Women and Girls Response (17 Jan 2024)The team have been completing enhanced checks at our licensed premises including pubs and retail premises alongside extra high visibility patrols throughout our market town and more rural locations. We have engaged with takeaways, taxi operatives, staff and the public at our transport hubs and have worked with our partners in the council. The team have also been engaging with the local hotels reminding them of their safeguarding responsibilities and licensing conditions. In all the team have been working intensely the make the town a safer place for everyone to enjoy. |
| 17 Jan 2024 | Drug Use Response (17 Jan 2024)The Neighbourhood have dedicated time to analyse drug related crime. This has allowed the team to complete targeted patrols in areas identified through this work. This has resulted in a number of positive stop searches that have led to the seizure of drugs and prosecution of offenders. The team have also spent time to understand how drugs motivate those that commit crime. This has seen the team divert more offenders, than seen previously, providing them with help; education; guidance and support around the use of illegal substances. This action has seen a reduction in repeat offenders frequenting the town and surrounding areas. |
