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.

Current Priorities

Issue

Residents are concerned about illegal and irresponsible parking particularly around schools

Action

The team are tasked with attending a different school and proactively dealing with parking on each early shift. This is monitored by the Neighbourhood Team supervisors to ensure all schools are being covered however a reminder that there are more schools than PCSOs to cover!
Regular communications are shared around considerate parking by Police and partner agencies

Issue

Residents confirm there has been a decrease in this activity however they wish for it to remain a priority so it does not increase again. Wroxton and North Newington being of particular concern

Action

The Neighbourhood Team continue to run Op Jazzman and take a proactive stance with any reports. Further vehicles have been seized in the last 2 months and details shared via social media and TV alert channels. We encourage the use of a rural Whatsapp group however to date no volunteers from the community to coordinate this.

Issue

Residents are complaining around speeding in the newly formed 20mph zones. TVP have made them aware of Community Speedwatch.

Action

Community Speedwatch info has been shared and the Neighbourhood Team are now also able to share data on the offences the Mobile Safety Cameras have captured.
Community Speedwatch coordinators have been provided details of the NHPT so that we can come along and support their operations where able.
