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.

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.

ASB & suspected Drug dealing within the Walnut Tree

Despite seeing a 59% decrease in reported ASB, the NHPT are aware of drug use and suspected drug dealing in the Walnut Tree estate. NHPT are actively targeting the hot spot areas and target individuals suspected of being involved in criminality. NHPT officers are engaging with the local schools to identify if students are involved in the reported ASB.

NHPT have identified an increase in reports of Cannabis use in the small parking areas and a number of car meets. NHPT are actively patrolling the hot spot areas in the evening time to identify and deal with the suspects criminally. NHPT will continue to engage and deter any alleged suspects. Any vehicle related ASB will be dealt with via a Section 59 warning letter.
Issue
An increase in illegal use of E-scooters within Glebe Farm.
Action
The NHPT are aware of the use of illegal e-scooters within numerous geographical estates. PCSOs can now use legislation to seize e-scooters and will continue to provide high visibility patrols, target harden areas known for regular use and road traffic legislation will be used. NHPT will continue to educate members of the public, however, a pro active operation is due to commence in the next few months.
