Every 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.

Have Your Say logo 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.

Once local priorities have been identified, a broader ‘toolkit’ of problem-solving tactics is being made available to ensure crime and anti-social behaviour is tackled effectively.

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

Residents continue to report that high speeds around the area are a concern to the community

Action

The neighbourhood team have begun periodic speed checks and enforcement.

Speed checks allow the team to record the typical speeds on the road, while it is not necessarily enforcement, PCs and PCSOs being stood road side with speed guns tend to be a deterrent in itself. From the speed checks, the team will plan their speed enforcement operations where they will look to issue tickets. Currently, Fulmer Road is an identified road of concern for speeding issues

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

The residents of the Denham and Gerrards Cross have voted burglary to be one their three top concerns. Recently there has been a rise in burglary in the Gerrards cross area.

Action

While their investigative colleagues work to identify burglary offenders, The neighbourhood team focus high visibility patrols around streets and neighbourhoods where there have been increased reports of burglary.

They have also been making sure to frequently engage with the local community in order to distribute burglary prevention advice to as many residents as possible. In light of any recent burglary, the team will carry out a process called cocooning, where they will seek to engage with homes in the proximity of the area the burglary took place, either via door knocks or leaflet drops.
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

Anti-social behaviour is frequently a top concern highlighted by the local community.

Action

The neighbourhood team will be conducting patrols in the targeted areas to detect offenders and deter further offending. Individuals known to the police to regularly cause issues will routinely be stopped and engaged with.
The PCSOs on the team have been holding regular events surrounding crime prevention and to address the concerns of local residents who may have been impacted by the anti-social behaviour, the team have recently been teaming up with Denham Parish council to host some of these events.

If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
