Wycombe West 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

11 Nov 2023

Serious Acquisitive Crime (SAC) offences such as Burglary, Vehicle Crime and Theft

Response (1 Dec 2023)

Seasonal trend data analysis demonstrates that there is a habitual rise in burglaries in the period leading up to Christmas. Through feedback and intel, the neighbourhood policing team are able to focus on existing and emerging hotspots for burglary.
Operation Grotto is TVP South Buck's crime initiative to reduce and prevent burglaries during the festive season. There will be an increased number of overt patrols in hotspot areas, as well as utilisation of enhanced intel gathering to see more arrests of offenders. There will also be a focus on distribution of crime reduction advice to members of the public.

11 Nov 2023

Streamlining the response and investigation of retail crime, including shoplifting
Shoplifting as well as other retail crime such as vandalism, anti social behaviour within shops and various types of fraud continues to be a concern for retail workers and shop owners.

Response (1 Dec 2023)

The NHPT will aim to build a closer relationship with the shops and it's workers within High Wycombe, increasing staff's and owner's confidence in talking to the police. This will be carried out through increased community engagement in that area.
The team will also promote the use of the DISC app to enable faster and easier reporting. For more information about the disk app, please visit discagainstcrime.com
In addition, the team will also devise guidance and plans to gather evidence and prosecute offenders after shopliftings and other retail offences have occurred.

15 Oct 2023

Tackling Anti Social behaviour in the Town Centre
There has been various anti social behaviours in the town centre, including aggressive begging and rough sleeping, as well as drug use.

Response (13 Nov 2023)

The NHPT will continue to increase visible police patrols in the Town Centre, they will also make use of legislation and work closely with partners including BIDCo and Bucks County Council to decrease issues such as aggressive begging, rough sleeping, drug use and littering.
Recently, the NHPT have worked to disperse rough sleeping in the underpass near the university and clean up the items that the dwellers have left behind. Through working with partner agencies, they have also ensured that those who have been moved along have been receiving and continue to receive support for issues such as lack of housing and drug addiction.
