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.

The neighbourhood policing team continue to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Pony & trap racing continues to be an issue of concern in Chalfont St Peter and Gerrards Cross. After considerable work with our partners at Buckinghamshire Council a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is now in place on the relevant sections of the A413 and A40. This order prohibits the behaviour in question and provides the police with additional enforcement capabilities. We have responded to a number of calls in recent weeks, one individual has been issued with a PSPO Fixed Penalty Notice and a number of other drivers have been reported for traffic offences.
We have also carried out a number of joint patrols with the Buckinghamshire Council Waste Enforcement Team to combat fly-tipping. Several load related / waste carrying offences were identified and drivers reported accordingly.
Due to concerns raised about persistent youth-related anti-social behaviour in Gerrards Cross we have completed intensive patrols of the common and town centre at key times. We have been supported by the Special Constabulary and these patrols will continue at every opportunity.
Following reports of regular misuse of nitrous oxide in Denham we located and stopped the vehicle concerned. A quantity of the class C drug was seized and one male was issued with an out of court resolution.
We continue to provide the initial response to vehicular anti-social behaviour at the motorway services at junction 2 of the M40. On the most recent occasion a driver was seen by officers performing drifts in the car park and was promptly stopped. Their vehicle was seized under S59 Police Reform Act. We would like to reassure the community that we will respond robustly to this behaviour wherever possible.
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.

Due to competing demands on the neighbourhood policing team we have been unable to complete as much speed enforcement work as we would have liked.
Further operations are planned in the near future.

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

We continue to work hard to combat burglary through targeted patrols of the most affected areas and of the borders with neighbouring areas and forces.
In July we participated in a multi-force operation targeting criminal use of the road network. This operation saw intensive proactive policing with partners across the Chalfonts, Gerrards Cross, Denham and Iver. Across all of the forces involved over 60 people were arrested and over 40 vehicles were seized. For full results please see our social media channels.
We also participated in a local rural crime initiative alongside the Metropolitan Police Service. This operation also saw intensive activity in the same area and resulted in an arrest, multiple vehicle seizures, multiple drivers being reported for traffic offences and some really positive engagement with our rural community. Investigations were also launched into two drivers who failed to stop for officers.
If you have any information relating to burglary please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
