Sandhurst Neighbourhood

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

Neighbourhood Policing teams can be contacted via 101, the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number. Always call 999 in an emergency.

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.
  • Provide you with a visible, accessible and accountable police service and aim to make your neighbourhood safer.
  • Have been present in every Thames Valley neighbourhood since 1 April 2008.
  • Focus all of their efforts on their dedicated neighbourhoods, building relationships with local people.
Neighbourhood Policing…
  • Needs you to tell us about the issues that concern you in your area.
  • Has transformed policing at a local level, to meet the needs of local communities.
  • Is known as ‘Safer Neighbourhoods’ in Milton Keynes.

Have Your Say logo 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.

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

27 Jun 2023

To deal with the reports of Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) in particular what are referred to as "Cruises" or "Car Meets" with cars been driven in a loud, reckless and intimidating manner, with excess speed and skidding in circles (known as Doughnuts) in the large open air car park of the stores at The Meadows, Sandhurst.

Response (3 Feb 2024)

The local neighbourhood police team are working with the stores and landowners and already conducted a number of policing operations to identify offenders, some of whom travel significant distance from other counties to participate in these events.
A number of Section 59 Written Warnings have been issued to offending drivers. (these are issued under the Police Reform Act 2002 for any vehicle or driver seen driving in an anti social manner, repeat behaviour by the same vehicle or driver enables the police to then seize the vehicle.
The neighbourhood team will be making targeted patrols of the area in order to deter these events.
