Denham and Gerrards Cross

Anti-social behaviour was voted for as priority in a recent community survey, the Denham and Gerrards Cross neighbourhood team will continue to take steps to prevent and respond to anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour includes issues such as drugs, littering, noise disturbances and youth anti-social behaviour.

Gerrards Cross: New CCTV cameras have been installed covering the play area on the East Common and the fields on the West Common in Gerrards cross, these should act to deter ASB in the area. Directed patrols have increased in the area specifically at weekends and over the Halloween / Bonfire night weeks.

Denham ASB has been deterred by identifying the location that stolen mopeds are stored and seizing them to deter future offences. 4 mopeds in total were seized last month from the area.

Patrols of Denham Village have increased specifically on lates targeting offenders. No new intelligence has been received in relation to this.

There has been an increase in ASB / drug dealing centring on Flat 2 Holloway house, Stanley Kubrik road. Housing are aware and managing the ongoing problem solving.

If you have any information regarding anti-social behaviour please report on 101 or online at www.thamesvalley.police.uk.

Call 999 if crime in progress or you are at risk of harm.

Speeding has been identified as a priority for local residents, they have reported that high speeds across the area represent a risk to community safety.

Roads given in relation to this are Dukes Wood Drive and Windsor road / Packhorse road.
There are further reports of speeding on the M40 / A40 on weekends and these are likely linked to Op Chromium car meets at Beaconsfield services

Burglary was voted as a top priority for the residents of Denham and Gerrards cross, Bucks TVP have recently started their winter burglary campaign.

Residents report a lack of police presence specifically overnight – Following a trial, ICR have introduced a dedicated GX Car on all shifts now to reduce their response times to the area but also to act as a visible deterrent for crime especially overnight with no NHPT resources on.

Op Grotto has started again and is due to continue over the winter period when burglaries have historically increased in the area. There are dedicated resources each night for this. PCSO’s have been cocooning affected addresses and communities.

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

Call 999 if crime in progress or you are at risk of harm.
