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

Seasonal trend data analysis demonstrates that there is a habitual rise in burglaries in the period leading up to Christmas. Through feedback and intel, the neighbourhood policing team are able to focus on existing and emerging hotspots for burglary.
Operation Grotto is TVP South Buck's crime initiative to reduce and prevent burglaries during the festive season. There will be an increased number of overt patrols in hotspot areas, as well as utilisation of enhanced intel gathering to see more arrests of offenders. There will also be a focus on distribution of crime reduction advice to members of the public.

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.
ASB has a wide definition and our Neighbourhood Teams receive numerous reports, which are categorised as Community, Environmental and 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, and as the principal law enforcement agency, our primary role is to address Criminal offences. However, more prominent and 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 partners, some of these incidents can be resolved relatively quickly and efficiently. Yet, with parties often emotionally invested in their dispute, over a protracted time, neighbourly disputes sometimes become entrenched; requiring longer-term problem-solving management: a common example of this would be rule-setting, by means of an Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) or Good Neighbour Agreement, and onwards monitoring of a case.

Rural crime

Rural crime entails a range of crimes including burglary, thefts, hunting offences such as poaching, wildlife
crimes, criminal damage and general environmental offences such as fly tipping. The team have worked to build strong partnerships with local landowners and rural groups to create a safer environment in the region. Success has been seen with this partnership working recently. With great help from local gameskeepers, two individuals have recently been charged for poaching on local estates with several further community protection warnings being issued for the offence across different estates. The team will continue to work closely with them and others in the community to proactively deal with rural offences.

If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.

Anti-Social Behaviour in parks and streets across Marlow

There has been reports of drug use, drinking and anti-social behaviour in: Higginson Park, the Rookery park, Peacock road, Shelley Road and Marlow High Street. The neighbourhood team will carry out patrols in those locations during times the anti-social behaviour is most likely to take place. It is seen that it is often youths causing concerns in these locations. Youths and any others known to police and identified as high demand will routinely be stopped and engaged with, especially if seen in these locations.
