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.

- 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
Car Meets Poyle Road. These are happening most Fridays and weekends from around 9pm onwards. This is causing huge disturbance to those who live locally and disrupting businesses.
Action
This has been a problem for some time and police and council have been working on a solution. We need the public to continue to report every meet that happens. If this doesn’t get reported we do not know about it and cannot respond appropriately.
We have completed a site visit with council and high ways and are looking at solutions to try to prevent the meets. We have installed a CCTV camera at the location to capture evidence in order to prosecute people. We have issued ASB warnings on vehicles involved in the meets.
Whenever a meet is reported the police respond and disperse the group.
Issue
Contravening the no through road on High Street, Colnbrook. This road is access only and vehicles are regularly using it as a cut through.
Action
Residents who live in Colnbrook would like the police to deal with the volume of traffic that is going through the High Street. Police have carried out a number of operations and are issuing fines to those contravening the road signs. We have also posted advice on social media informing the public this is a no through road.
We will continue to enforce this.
Issue
Use of catapults. Youths are regularly using catapults in the area and shooting at people and property. Buses are often targeted.
Action
Officers continue to patrol the area and are building a picture of youths in the area. Any offences will be dealt with robustly. The PCSO has been engaging with the bus drivers and bus companies to offer advice and try to obtain evidence of those targeting the buses.
We will be reaching out the public to obtain intelligence about who may be using catapults in the area.
