Wheatley and Chalgrove 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.

- 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.

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.

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
| 6 Dec 2023 | Anti-social behaviour (ASB) Response (6 Dec 2023)We continue to be robust in our approach to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB). This month we have worked with our partners within Social Housing and imposed three Closure Orders at premises that have caused disruption in the community and have safeguarded vulnerable people in the process. We have also targeted a number of ‘drugs hotspots’, disrupted activity and brought positive action against those causing disruption and breaking the law. We have responded to information the public have supplied in relation to where the biggest threat, harm and risk lie and have amended our patrols accordingly, dealing with ASB and crime. |
| 6 Dec 2023 | Knife Crime Response (6 Dec 2023)We continue to target key offenders, habitual knife carriers and members of County Lines drugs gangs across the district, disrupting their behaviour and making it clear that we have a zero tolerance approach to knife enabled crime. We continue to support educational establishments in highlighting the dangers of carrying knives and the associated offences that may be being committed. We are 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. |
| 6 Dec 2023 | Violence Against Women and Girls Response (6 Dec 2023)The month of December sees an Operation to tackle Violence Against Women and Girls in the Night Time Economy take place across the entire Local Policing Area. The Operation will involve enhanced checks at our Licensed premises including pubs and retail premises alongside extra high visibility patrols throughout our market towns. We will be engaging with takeaways, taxi operatives, staff and the public at our transport hubs and working with our partners within the District Council. We will be working intensively to make the market towns throughout South and Vale a safer place for everyone to enjoy in the lead up to the festive period. |
