Neighbourhood Policing teams…Neighbourhood Policing…
- 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.
- Is known as ‘Safer Neighbourhoods’ in Milton Keynes.
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.

Burglary |
There was an attempted break in at a building site on Arnolds Way, Botley overnight between 16th and 17th April. Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity especially outside of expected working hours such as weekends or late evenings. Between midnight and 7.45am on 30th April unknown offenders broke into a property Bagley Close, Kennington. It is believed that they entered by an insecure front door. They stole a wallet and keys and then stole a black Audi A3 S Line from the driveway. If you saw anything please call 101 quoting reference 43190128853. We would like to urge residents to ensure that doors and windows are locked when not in use and car keys are kept out of reach and preferably out of sight. Use garages where possible and install alarms and CCTV. Due to the recent spate of shed breaks in Radley, the team ran an operation over the weekend of 27th and 28th April. This was followed up by a mop up of locations that we were unable to get to on Saturday 4th May. Residents of Sugworth Lane were issued with Smartwater (security marking kit) that was purchased with a grant from the Community safety Partnership. As a result of this we are hoping this will become a Smartwater Street. Residents were also given crime prevention advice from the team at these events. |

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) |
ASB was reported at a school in the Botley and Cumnor area when an unknown person was seen to padlock the main gate shut late one evening. The person’s motivation is as yet unknown but is suspected to be some sort of attempted prank. Fortunately, school staff were notified and were able to facilitate the removal of the lock resulting in only minor inconvenience and disruption. We encourage residents to report any suspicious activity especially around schools. After reports were circulating on social media of ASB occurring in the Abbey Meadows, the neighbourhood team increased their patrols in the vicinity. The reports appeared to relate to older children being abusive and riding their bicycles in the play park. During our patrols over the last month we have only come across several groups of young people, we have engaged with them and advised them of the complaints being made. There has been a small amount of ASB in Lady Place, Sutton Courtenay over the Easter holidays, where young people have been seen jumping over walls. Patrols have been increased. It was also reported that there was some ASB outside Peachcroft shops, Abingdon. PCSO Selene Moquet has been visiting every shift to control the amount of people outside the shops and have since received no further reports. |
