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.

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 within the Blue Lagoon, Queensway, MK1 Stadium Shopping (homelessness and begging) and Granby Court
Action
The Neighbourhood team have discussed the ongoing issues with businesses, residents and the local authority in order to identify those at the root of the problems. We are continuing with patrols in the areas and will aim to increase these in order to locate those involved, thus enabling us to take positive action. We will look to deal with any offenders robustly in order to prevent any further crime or escalation within these ASB hotspot areas.
Issue
Increase in violent offences within Central Bletchley, including Gang and Youth violence.
Action
The Neighbourhood team have been conducting high visibility patrols around the local estates to deter a spike in violent offences. Targeted hot spot patrols have been identified by local intelligence and crime related data. The NHPT are continuing to work in partnership with the local authority to utilise CCTV cameras to deter offending. NHPT are continually engaging with youth groups to sign post youths to prevent ASB.
Issue
Increase in drug related offences reported within Kitchener Drive, Queensway, Bletchley Library, Millward Drive and Granby Court.
Action
The Neighbourhood team are continuing to conduct high-visibility patrols around the local estates and specified areas, targeting identified hotspots from local intelligence gathering and recent ‘Have your Say’ events. The continued intention is to identify nominals and take positive action to minimise offending within the local area by means of using stop and search powers, making arrests where necessary.
