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.

- 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.

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
Dangerous use of electric motorcycles at the King George V recreation ground and other public spaces.
Action
With the help of members of the public, we are collecting reports, images and footage of riders to try and assist in their identification. We are also conducting regular patrols of the recreation ground and other identified locations.
Issue
Vehicular enabled anti-social behaviour in industrial areas, Ruscombe Business Park and Thames Valley Business Park
Action
The Twyford Neighbourhood Policing Team is aware of historical use of the Thames Valley Business Park and more recently, Ruscombe Business Park, for anti-social behaviour involving motor vehicles. This includes racing, displaying and other dangerous activity.
Our officers will be patrolling these areas at targeted times based on trends of offending, and will deal with any offences presented under the Road Traffic Act. Anti-social behaviour powers will also be used where appropriate, which may result in drivers being warned for anti-social use of their vehicles, and their vehicles may even be seized.
We will also look to discuss long term solutions with the landowners.
Issue
Use of derelict buildings for anti-social behaviour, specifically within Twyford village and the Thames Valley Business Park (TVBP).
Action
PCSO Brown has been working together with a local school and has identified multiple suspects in the Twyford area. He is currently in the process of visiting young people and their parents to discuss intervention and possible criminal outcomes.
Within TVBP, officers are investigating reports of graffiti, smashed windows and theft. Enquiries are ongoing and the local Neighbourhood Policing Team will make contact with security contractors, as well as the landowners, to discuss a long term solution to this problem, whilst trying to identify those responsible.
