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
Violent crime in the Town Centre.
Action
The town centre team have been cracking down on street drinking and drug related ASB. This has resulted in CPNW’s (community protection warnings) and CPN (community protection notices) being issued to those found drinking alcohol in public. A number of arrests have since been made relating to breaches of CPN’s specifically relating to street drinking. The team conduct regular patrols and seize alcohol from anyone caught with an open vessel.
In conjunction with the above we have been working closely with partners to sign post and divert those who are repeated found drinking on the High Street. This has included joint patrols and days of action to identify those who are sleeping rough and involved in substance misuse.
We’ve held a proactive operation involving a drugs dog at Slough Train Station and on Slough High Street. As a result of this operation over 10 searches were conducted with 5 out of court disposals and a further person arrested.
A further warrant has been executed relating to drug dealing within the town. This resulted in numerous arrest for drugs offences.
In association with ASB awareness week from 18th – 24th November the South Team conducted a traffic operation associated with ASB related vehicle crime in Chalvey. Multiple drivers were spoken to and 6 tickets were issued for various driving offences.
A closure order was issued to an address in Chalvey. This allows the Police or Local Authority control who (if anyone) is able to enter an address with authority from a court. The closure order was issued to address ASB and drug use in the area. The South Team has been regularly patrolling the area and to date one person has been arrested from the address for breaching the order.
