Burglary

Based on feedback from the public, burglary continues to be one of the highest concerns. Due to this, the neighbourhood policing team continues to make this one of their top priorities, particularly now as the winter months begin to draw in.

The neighbourhood policing team have been conducting directed patrols of identified high risk areas, increasing their visibility in the area in an effort to deter burglars. They have been working with local Neighbourhood Watch Teams to put in place free Crime Reduction surveys for victims of burglaries as well as their neighbours.

Drugs

Drugs continues to be a top priority for the Neighbourhood Policing Team. They are proactive in cracking down on drug offences through utilising intel from the community and conducting direct visible patrols of the areas that have been identified as high risk.

Over the summer months, the team have taken part in numerous joint police operations and carried out warrants for suspected drug activity, resulting in the arrest of over 180 drug offenders, as well as the seizure of large amounts of drugs, drugs related cash and equipment.

Speeding

As suggested by the local community, speeding continues to be a priority issue for The neighbourhood policing team. The team has conducted speed enforcements and speed checks on roads that are identified as having increased levels of speeding. Checks were carried out on Woodside Road, Amersham and Austenwood Lane, Chalfont St Peter, offenders were issued with fixed penalty tickets. In addition, mobile enforcement via road safety vans, as well as highly visible fixed speed cameras, have continued to be an effective tool in both preventing and enforcing penalties on speeding.

We also support and work with the local community speed watch teams, made up of volunteers who want to assist in making their roads safer for everyone in the area. So far, their work has been highly effective in preventing re-offending.
