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.

Shoplifting
Action
Action taken:
Police are receiving reports of increased shoplifting in the local Sainsbury's, Lidl and M&S. The neighbourhood team have been patrolling these area throughout their shifts in order to prevent and detect retail crime. They have also been actively engaging with managers, shop staff and shop security in order to pursue repeat shoplifting offenders and provide support to the local business community. There has recently been a new initiative to improve information sharing and crime reporting between retailers and police, with the aim to enable a more targeted and effective policing response to shoplifting and strengthen relationships with the business community.

Issue
Anti-social Behaviour
Action
The neighbourhood team have received increased reports of anti-social behaviour and drug usage in locations around the Marlow area including: Higginson Park, the high street, peacock Road and Shelley Road.
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. The team are seeing that much of this behaviour is by local youths.
