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
Recent engagement with some shops in Banbury Road shows that they are seeing an increase in shoplifting in the Summertown area reporting repeat offenders targeting their locations and stealing goods
Action
Over the next 3 months, we will be undertaking weekly engagements with the affected premises to ensure they are signed up to Shopwatch, signing up those who aren't. We will also sign up stores to the TV Alert system, as well as work with stores to target harden against repeat theft. We will identify stores suffering serial offenders and where series are identified, prosecute repeat offenders and apply for Criminal behaviour Orders to prevent future repetition
Issue
We have been made aware of a number of thefts of parcels from people's doorways in the Stratfield Road and surrounding area. We will be working with the community to target harden the area, increase local vigilance and reduce further offences
Action
We will be holding a Have Your Say event regards this issue at a date to be decided within the next 2 weeks to speak to the community. We will then take necessary actions with the community and wider partnerships as required to prevent reccurrence. Watch this space for dates and location!!!!!!!!!!
Issue
In a recent have your say in North Oxford the community raised concerns about cyclists running red lights
Action
We will be running regular cycle enforcement exercises in Summertown regards cyclists running red lights. The aim will be to reduce the incidence of this by enforcement, accompanied by education and engagement. We will also address cycle security during these operations to reduce theft and increase general cycle safety
