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.

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
Thefts of pedal cycles from the John Radcliffe Hospital
Action
Our proactive operational work has continued, alongside a number of cycle marking and crime prevention events having taken place, collaborating with partner agencies.
We will continue to focus on this Community Priority with an aim to reduce the risk of cycle theft and to identify, pursue and prosecute those involved.
UPDATE.
Theft of cycles has reduced over the past few months due to the proactive operations that the Team have been committed with and the continual cycle theft safety education events.
Issue
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) at the Barton Community Centre
Action
We will focus fully on reducing the ASB within the location of the Community Centre, increasing our high visibility and covert patrols in the area to disrupt any anti-social activity, also gathering intelligence to identify those responsible.
UPDATE
A number of those involved with anti-social behaviour have now been identified and we are working with our partners in Local Authority, issuing behaviour contracts and tenancy warnings. Criminal investigations are also ongoing.
Working with our partner agencies, both civil and criminal enforcement will be used.
Issue
Anti-social Behaviour, Bury Knowle Park, Headington.
Action
We are committed to reducing the reports of anti-social behaviour within the park for all those that use it.
We will increase our high visibility patrols and proactive operations within the park to identify offenders, prosecuting those responsible. We will also work with our partner agencies to enforce civil actions that they may apply.
