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.

Priority:
Speeding is consistently raised as an issue by residents of the area, the team will therefore seek to take steps to address speeding and dangerous driving on the local roads
Action taken:
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.
In October we participated in a multi-agency operation around road safety. Working alongside roads policing and commercial vehicle unit colleagues, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and Bucks Council we targeted offences which contribute to serious and fatal collisions. During the course of the operation numerous offences were identified and drivers reported accordingly and several vehicles were seized.
In September we joined forces with our Special Constabulary colleagues and undertook speed enforcement. Two drivers were stopped and reported for exceeding the speed limit on Langley Park Road, Iver. One driver was stopped and reported for exceeding the speed limit on Bells Hill, Stoke Poges.
Speed enforcement operations are being planned for the near future.

Burglary has been voted for as a top priority for the neighbourhood team to focus on by local residents, areas around South Bucks continue to be targeted by burglary offenders
Action taken:
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.
With summer coming to an end and the darker evenings drawing in, we are reminding residents of the simple changes they can make to keep their homes safe. We will be issuing this advice at engagement events across the area in the coming weeks. We will also be sharing it via our social media pages so be sure to check there for more information.
