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
In our recent neighbourhood priorities survey, anti social behaviour was highlighted as a priority for the whole of Wycombe
Action
Following ongoing issues in Castlefield, ASB powers have been used to place a closure order on an address that has been the source of a large bulk of the issues. Several offenders have also been arrested and charged over the past few months relating to incidents of disorder. Proactive efforts such as increased patrols and community outreach continue to take place in the Castlefield area in order to continue reducing criminality in the area.
The team are also looking at issues around motorbikes and illegal e-scooters that are being ridden without Insurance. These are now being seized and scrapped. One male in Downley has received a warning for using his motor bike in the woods. The team have also been working with the TVP bike team and Mounted section to look at cases.
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
As per our recent neighbourhood priorities survey, residents have highlighted drug offences as one of their top concerns. This continues to be a top priority for the Wycombe neighbourhood team.
Action
An Operation in April/May focusing on Castlefield resulted in 13 arrests (9 for drug supply offences), a significant amount of drugs being recovered, 5 vehicles seized, over £3000 seized and £2000 worth of suspected stolen property. The team will seek to continue gathering intelligence and securing warrants to see more drug operations disrupted and drug dealers stopped from causing harm to their local community.
Another solution the team utilises for drug offences is closure orders. The team will work with partner agencies such as the Council and housing to secure these. This can stop visitors going to an address and in some instances expel the actual resident where necessary. These orders will normally be in place for 3 months and can be extended for a further 3 months if needed. These are effective for both preventing further drug using and drug dealing, and can also allow the team to protect vulnerable people who's homes have been taken over for drug dealing. At the time of writing there are 6 closure orders in Wycombe. The team carry out regular checks to ensure the orders are being obeyed.
NOS (Nitrous Oxide) continues to be on the increase and the team have been raising awareness around the risks as well as working with the Council on issues around rubbish and the issues this is causing in the community. This is an issue impacting the Castlefield and Downley areas and the team have been responding to those affected and increasing patrols to try and identify perpetrators.
If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
Call 999 if a crime is in progress or you are at risk of harm.
Issue
Speeding continues to be highlighted as a top issue for local residents and was suggested to be a priority in our recent neighbourhood priorities survey, the neighbourhood team will continue to address speeding around High Wycombe
Action
Operation Glare is now in progress at High Wycombe. We will listen to concerns from residents about speeding and action this by sending our PCSO’s to analyse vehicles that are reported to speed at mentioned locations. If the data recorded shows that there are issues with spending they will subsequently get officers out to issue tickets.
In April the team focused on Chairborough Rd(29mph), Dashwood Ave (38mph), The Pastures (39mph), Coates Lane (41mph), Hithercorft Road (42mph) and Littleworth Road( 31mph)(Top speed recorded in brackets). The Cressex industrial Estate has also been visited.
After reviewing data, the team will be focusing on the same roads and some new ones, these will include: Totteridge road, Coates Lane, Lane End Road, The pastures, Hicks Farm rise.
To cure the problem of speeding we need members of the public to step up. Whether that is challenging friends or family if they are speeding or starting/joining a community speedwatch scheme. For more information please visit: https://www.communityspeedwatch.org
