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.
- 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.
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
30 Jan 2024 | Youth Crime and exploitation Response (30 Jan 2024)The Neighbourhood Team for Didcot and Wallingford are taking robust action to prevent youth criminality and exploitation. Fostering good relations with our partner agencies; charities and relevant organisations has enabled us to have a broad insight into arising concerns and utilising the skills of our network to protect the community within our neighbourhood area. We are currently in the process of creating a safeguarding package to deliver to our secondary school children. This will give our young people the tools to help identify risk and keep themselves safe when out in the community and on social media. Talks at local youth groups such as Berry Youth Club have been given to help educate young people on exploitation and grooming, as well as spotting the signs. We are also running operations in the area in order to identify those at risk and provide support for them. We work with our partners to seek to divert youths away from criminal behaviours, such as drugs; criminal damage; anti-social behaviour and harassment. |
30 Jan 2024 | Anti-social behaviour (ASB) Response (30 Jan 2024)We continue to tackle isolated incidents of anti-social behaviour (ASB) as well as more entrenched issues such as ASB amongst young people in the local parks and market place. We have identified key areas for demand reduction and are working alongside statutory and third-sector organisations in order to tackle long-standing problems. We support local businesses; identify prolific offenders and assist with the delivery of banning letters and other long term planning. Multiple Community Resolutions have been given to young people caught shoplifting in the area. We are committed to dealing with the issues that the community raise to us and develop a large quantity of intelligence to target areas of high threat and risk. We hold Have Your Say and ASB surveys monthly in the local Waitrose and amend our patrol areas in line with community feedback. We endeavour to use tools such as stop and search to disrupt and prosecute drug dealers. We have recently been granted a closure order on a residential address known for ASB, looking to protect the resident as well as local residents. |
30 Jan 2024 | Knife Crime Response (30 Jan 2024)We continue to target key offenders, habitual knife carriers and members of County Drug Lines gangs across the district, disrupting their behaviour and making it clear that we have a zero tolerance approach to knife-enabled crime. We have recently spoken to youth clubs to hear and address their concerns and look forward to welcoming TRAIN youth group to Wallingford as the newest addition to the youth extracurricular scene. 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. A young person was recently found in a car park late at night using illegal substances and the NHPT officers were able to provide support for them and issue them with an out-of-court disposal. We frequently update our patrol locations in alignment with community feedback and intelligence. We also endeavour to use tools such as stop and search to disrupt and prosecute those most likely to be carrying a weapon or dealing drugs. |
