Thames Valley Police Information

Thames Valley Police is the largest non-metropolitan police force in England and Wales. We police the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and serve a diverse population of more than two million, plus six million visitors who come to Thames Valley each year. We patrol 196 miles of motorway - more than any other British police force. The Thames Valley Police force area is divided into 12 Local Policing Areas (LPAs). For more information, visit the Thames Valley Police website.

Wallingford, Berinsfield and Cholsey 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

9 Apr 2024

Shoplifting

Response (9 Apr 2024)

With an increase in shoplifting in our local shops and stores such as Waitrose and Benson Co-op, we have been working closely with the staff to help identify, ban and deal with offenders. We strive to make a regular presence in these shops, when resources allow, to help deter offenders and interact with customers and the local community in order to magnify our presence and reduce offences from taking place. We have set aside multiple intensive action weeks to target shoplifting and have ongoing operations such as Op Purchase and Op Retail that are specifically aimed at reducing these incidents. We have multiple shops on our hotspot patrol list and do frequent pop-ins to see how the staff are doing. We have more intensive weeks of action upcoming where we will be focussing on the reporting process for stores and will be offering signage to help deter and hold offenders accountable.

9 Apr 2024

Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

Response (9 Apr 2024)

We continue to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) which is commonly happening between young people in our area. We have identified key areas for demand reduction, such as the Library, Bullcroft and Kinecroft. We have recently arrested a couple of known offenders for criminal damage in the Market Place and continue to investigate isolated events of ASB. We are committed to dealing with the issues that the community raise to us and develop large quantities of intelligence to target areas of high ASB activity and risk. We hold frequent Have Your Say / ASB Surveys at Waitrose in Wallingford, Co-op in Berinsfield and are about to start one at Benson House Care Home. We amend our patrol areas in line with community feedback. We have worked closely with Didcot TRAIN, and now they are up and running in Wallingford, we hope to continue to work alongside them to tackle ASB with young people.

9 Apr 2024

Drug Use

Response (9 Apr 2024)

The Neighbourhood Team for Didcot and Wallingford are taking robust action to prevent drug dealing, youth criminality and exploitation. We frequently update our patrol locations in alignment with community feedback and intelligence shared with us from members of the public and where we see an increase in suspicious behaviour or activity. One of our PCSOs has also been working closely with Berry Youth Club to give talks to their young people regarding County Drug Lines and Knife Crime. 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 have recently been able to patrol areas in Benson, Berinsfield and Wallingford which, through reports from the public and intelligence gathered, have been flagged to us as potential drug storage, use and dealing. We endeavour to use tools such as stop and search to disrupt and prosecute those most likely to be dealing drugs.

Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG)

Response (27 Jun 2024)

We work hard as a team to actively engage with the licensed premises and promote a safe environment for the night time economy. The work includes high visibility patrols and licensing checks at pubs as well as deployment of plain clothed officers to help identify predatory behaviour. With Euro 24 and BunkFest upon us, we strive to work with our partner agencies to achieve a safe environment for everyone to enjoy themselves. The team acted quickly to identify a male who was making a group of females feel unsafe. With the help of CCTV images and patrols at key times, we managed to identify the person involved and reassure the group.

Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

Response (27 Jun 2024)

Wallingford Town Centre is a focus for high visibility policing to disrupt anti-social behaviour and divert young people to support services. The team hold regular Have Your Say meetings within the town to invite public engagement and comments on what they consider the priorities are. With the lighter evening and warmer weather the neighbourhood team will be on foot working with businesses and the Town Council to identify hotspot locations. We especially urge people to be safe when enjoying the river as well as ensuring your activity is not causing anti-social behaviour to others. Following on from the good work last year the team will continue to visit and engage with identified offenders to further divert them from repeating nuisance behaviour. The Embedded TRAIN youth provision has proven a real benefit to the Town and surrounding areas.

Retail crime

Response (27 Jun 2024)

TThe retail community has experienced a range of increasing threats of violence by criminal’s intent on stealing products. A big focus for the team is to increase our visibility especially in identified hotspots and engage with the community to identify persistent offenders and prosecute them. The recent dedicated operations saw 60 individual retail patrols in one week for the Didcot and Wallingford areas. The retailer’s feedback was very positive and as a team, we remain focused to build on this good work over the summer period. A regular shoplifter was arrested and charged to court for repeat thefts from a village shop. He thought he was clever using the local public transport services and targeting a remote location but thanks to some good work he has been convicted.

Knife crime and drug use

Response (16 Oct 2024)

There is a lot of national focus on reducing the numbers of people carrying knives. As a team, we take this priority very seriously and ensure that we conduct stop searches wherever possible. It has been used to good effect to disrupt ASB groups in Didcot and Wallingford. One individual was arrested for having a knife in his bag and is now restricted to bail curfew conditions stopping him leaving the house in the evening. We continue to work with parents, schools and support services to divert young people away from carrying knives. Some of this focus links in with our Anti-Social Behaviour priority helping to disrupt and deter groups gathering and identify and safeguard vulnerable individuals. If you have information that someone carries a knife in public, then please inform police or use Crimestoppers-uk.org 0800555111.

Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

Response (16 Oct 2024)

The team have been busy identifying teenagers thinking it is a good idea to climb on shop roofs. A few have been arrested and are now on a curfew to remain indoors during the evenings. Business owners are helping to secure access points wherever possible and we are visiting schools and parents to help advise young people of the dangers. Patrols have increased in the ASB hotspot areas that include the Orchard Centre, Broadway Didcot and Wallingford Town centre and parks. Recently some of the suspects causing this ASB have thought it is a good idea to lie about their name and address. If they do this we can then arrest them using the Police Reform Act legislation and this is usually enough of a shock for them to provide the real details. With Halloween and Bonfire night upon us, you will see the team on foot patrol ensuring it is a safe event for everyone. We will also be visiting retailers with other partner agencies to enforce responsible selling of fireworks.

Retail crime

Response (16 Oct 2024)

We are aware that there are shops and businesses under report for shoplifting. Therefore, it remains a key focus for the team is to increase our visibility, especially in identified hotspots and engage with the community to identify persistent offenders and prosecute them. Recently we caught one of these persistent offenders red handed in Asda after monitoring his behaviour pattern. He was charged with multiple offences and remanded to court for conviction. We will be working with retailers over the next few months to introduce the DISC app, which allows retailers to share images of offenders between stores and to directly report incidents to the police. This month we will running Safer Businesses Action (SABA) week to prevent and detect retail criminality through proactive patrols.
