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 was highlighted as a top priority in the recent neighbourhood priorities survey by local residents. The most impacted areas are Marlow High street, Higginson Park, Peacock Road, Shelley Road and is primarily reports that entail youths congregating in the areas. It involves issues such as smoking cannabis and/or drinking in public areas, shoplifting and noise pollution.
Action
The neighbourhood team will carry out high visibility patrols at peak times in these areas and any other areas they have received increased reports.
They will seek to stop and engage with any individuals suspected to be causing issues as well as carry out stop searches where necessary. Intel will continue to be built around drug usage and drug dealing. There are a number of solutions the team utilise to tackle drug offences. While repeat offenders and drug dealing operations will face prosecution, community resolution orders can be given to appropriate individuals to prevent further offending. The local neighbourhood team have issued a number of these, primarily for Class B drug possession.
Into the summer months, the neighbourhood teams across Bucks will be focusing on tackling anti-social behaviour in the local town centres and high streets. The Marlow team are currently planning partnership working, increased patrols and more events to engage with local residents.
If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.

Issue
In our recent neighbourhood priorities survey, residents of Marlow highlighted Burglary as one of their top 3 priorities. While burglary investigations are routinely owned by other departments, the neighbourhood team can work on burglary prevention.
Action
The neighbourhood team will carry out high visibility patrols in locations a burglary has taken place or in locations where there has been increased report.
In light of burglaries, the team will also carry out a process called cocooning, where they will seek to visit the victims and engage with households in the proximity of the area, either via door knocks or leaflet drops.
Have your say events also continue to be conducted in locations around Marlow. Usually conducted by PCSOs and sometimes PCs, these events give members of the public the opportunity to pick up crime prevention material and speak with their local neighbourhood team about any concerns they may have.
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.
