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.

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
Anti-Social Behaviour
Action
The neighbourhood team have seen increased reports of general anti-social behaviour in the area and continue to work to decrease this. To detect and deter this behaviour, they have increased their high visibility patrols in areas identified to be most impacted by anti-social behaviour.
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
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
Rogue Traders and Scams
Action
The neighbourhood team have seen an increase in report of fraud and scams from local residents, specifically with a rise in rogue traders. The neighbourhood policing team have been engaging with the community to educate around this and distribute crime prevention advice and what signs to look out for regarding rogue traders. In particular the team have been working with the vulnerable members of the community, as it is them who are most likely to be targeted by these offences. We continue to strongly encourage local residents to report suspicious activity.
