Your Local Neighbourhood Policing Team
Every neighbourhood in the Thames Valley area has a dedicated neighbourhood policing team that works together with the local community and partners to: reduce crime and incidents, bring more offenders to justice, protect the vulnerable and tackle violence against women and girls and improve victim service and public confidence.
Neighbourhood policing teams are led by senior police officers and include police officers, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), police staff, police support volunteers and the Special Constabulary.
They aim to make communities safer through an approach that is focussed on visibility, engagement, problem solving and community resilience.
You can receive regular updates on local information and incidents in or around your area by signing up to Thames Valley Alert.

Frequent cannabis use was reported in parks, public pathways and residential areas, including Victoria Park, Stuart Way, Gilman Crescent, Vansittart Park, Roses Lane, Kingsfield/Galleys Road, Rydings, Wolf Lane and the town centre. Several respondents also raised concerns about suspected drug dealing, particularly in Hanover Way, Dedworth, Ruddlesway and Addington Close, with some describing activity as taking place openly and on a regular basis. Respondents highlighted the impact on the community, particularly where children and families use the same public spaces.
Officers have issued a closure order on a property suspected to be involved in drug supply. This allows officers to enter the premise when they suspect someone is inside that should not be. Officers have issued multiple out of court disposals for drug possession whereby offenders are issued with fines and have to complete drug diversion courses.
