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
Action
Burglary continues to be a top concern for the local community. As we head towards the winter months, burglary is expected to increase across the whole of Buckinghamshire meaning it will be a top priority across the force. The neighbourhood team will be increasing their hotspot patrols in areas identified to be most impacted. They will also be working closely with the roads policing department to target offenders who may be travelling into the area to commit these offences.
If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
Call 999 if crime in progress or you are at risk of harm.
Issue
Speeding
Action
Residents in Beaconsfield have raised safety concerns due to high speeds and a reckless manner of driving, as well as the subsequent noise pollution this can bring to their neighbourhoods.
Road offences are typically the priority of the roads policing department, however to keep the local area safe, provide reassurance and reduce anti-social behaviour, the neighbourhood team will be roadside conducting periodic speed enforcement and considering different times of day this will be most effective. They will be pursuing repeat offenders and dealing with accordingly for driving offences.
If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.

Issue
Drugs and associated Anti-social behaviour
Action
The neighbourhood team have received increased reports of anti-social behaviour and drug usage in locations around the Chepping Wye area.
To detect and deter this, officers will be patrolling these areas during times the behaviour is identified to be most likely to take place. These patrols are recorded on the “hotspot” app to help keep track of policing activities and ensure all areas have been covered.
