https://www.thamesvalley.police.ukEvery 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.

- 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.

Current Priorities
Issue
Burglary within Maidenhead South
Action
As the nights draw in we are targeting patrols in densely populated and rural areas to deter burglars and opportunist thefts.
We have had few burglaries reported in this period and they have been mainly located in clusters around Larchfield and Braywick. Police have focussed their patrols on these areas using a problem solving analyst to identify times and days of previous offences.
Issue
Speeding - around public houses
Action
After recruiting PC Luke Jenkins from roads policing we have had a number of speeding operations in and around the Bray areas. We will also be expanding this to the other areas which have identified speeding as a priority.
Another area which has been prevalent is the speeding of E-scooters and bicycles. Due to the season police are carrying out drink and drug driving stop checks. We cannot publish locations due to disclosing police tactics.
Issue
Drug Use - Holyport
Action
In Cox Green, mainly around Wessex Way a number of males have been stopped and searched for drugs.
Six offenders have been identified as a priority, one of them is wanted for robbery and drug use, who is currently being sought. Two addresses have been raided and large quantities of drugs and tens and of thousands of pounds in cash has been seized. These two properties have now have closure orders for a period of three months.
