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.

As suggested by the local residents, speeding continues to be a priority issue for The neighbourhood policing team. The team have conducted speed enforcements on roads that are identified as having increased levels of speeding and will continue to do so periodically.

Recently, neighbourhood officers were able to identify four youths who had caused around £5000 worth of criminal damage, they were issued with community resolution orders.

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. The team have received increased reports of drug dealing on Plough Lane in Stoke Poges. Frequent patrols are continuing to take place in this location and on one occasion a neighbourhood PCSO found a small bag of drugs while out, they were subsequently seized and destroyed.
