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
Drug offences
Action
Drug offences and the anti-social behaviour it tends to bring into the local community is a top concern for the neighbourhood policing team and residents. In response to this issue, the team have increased their high visibility patrols around areas identified to be most impacted by drug usage. This include locations such as Dropmore road in Burnham and Fern Drive in Taplow.
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
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. They have been working alongside Parish council and local residents, specifically around issues in Blackpond Lane on Farnham Common where individuals with mopeds have been seen riding on the field. The council are currently working on securing new gating to prevent this and neighbourhood officers have increased their high visibility patrols around this location and other areas identified to be most impacted by anti-social behaviour.
The team have also been dealing with individuals using E-scooters around the Burnham area, having issued 5 warnings in recent months. The team will continue to enforce the law around them and seize if necessary.
If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
