Operated by: Thames Valley Police
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.
- May serve one or several neighbourhoods.
- Work with local people and partners to identify, tackle and prevent local, low-level crime, anti-social behaviour, and any ongoing concerns.
- Provide you with a visible, accessible and accountable police service and aim to make your neighbourhood safer.
- Have been present in every Thames Valley neighbourhood since 1 April 2008.
- Focus all of their efforts on their dedicated neighbourhoods, building relationships with local people.
- Needs you to tell us about the issues that concern you in your area.
- Has transformed policing at a local level, to meet the needs of local communities.
- Is known as ‘Safer Neighbourhoods’ in Milton Keynes.
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 (ASB) in Henley Town Centre and Mill Meadows
Action
The team have been working in the Town Centre throughout this year's Safer Streets - Summer of Action campaign that is running throughout July, August and September. They have been completing a wealth of activity with partners including Housing, Environmental Health and British Transport Police.
We have also arrested a prolific offender who was suspected of carrying out around 20 offences across the town. He has been bailed with conditions whilst we continue to gather evidence. We are also building a case for a Criminal Behaviour Order against this individual to further curb his future offending.
Issue
Violence Against Women and Girls in Henley Town Centre
Action
The team continue to patrol the Night Time Economy across our area, supporting colleagues from response policing. We continue to work alongside the local Pubwatch scheme to help make the Night Time economy across the area a safer place to enjoy an evening out for all.
After a year of discussion, Henley will have its own Branch of the “Street Pastors” who work with the Police during busier periods within the Town.
Issue
Retail Crime in Henley and Goring
Action
On 8th August the team arrested a prolific shoplifter in Henley. The male is suspected of committing a number of offences over the past few months. He has been recalled to prison. We are compiling evidence and are looking to charge him with those offences in the near future.
As part of the Safer Streets Summer of Action, officers have been patrolling Henley Market Place and visiting retail premises to offer advice and reassurance throughout the summer months.
