Marlow

In our recent neighbourhood priorities survey, residents of Marlow highlighted Burglary as one of their top 3 priorities. While burglary investigations are routinely owned by other departments, the neighbourhood team can work on burglary prevention.

The neighbourhood team will carry out high visibility patrols in locations a burglary has taken place or in locations where there has been increased report.
In light of burglaries, the team will also carry out a process called cocooning, where they will seek to visit the victims and engage with households in the proximity of the area, either via door knocks or leaflet drops.
Have your say events also continue to be conducted in locations around Marlow. Usually conducted by PCSOs and sometimes PCs, these events give members of the public the opportunity to pick up crime prevention material and speak with their local neighbourhood team about any concerns they may have.

Speeding was highlighted as another priority by residents in the recent neighbourhood priorities survey. It has been seen this is particularly an issue around the Stokenchurch area. The team will continue to work on increasing their speed enforcement operations

To address the concerns of speeding, special constable have recently completed training with speed gun equipment and how to carry out effective speed enforcement on the roads. The neighbourhood teams have also been trained on this. While road offences are typically are a priority of the roads policing unit, the neighbourhood team will be planning more days of speeding enforcement on roads identified to have the issues.
The Marlow team have recently completed speed checks in the Stokenchurch area after increased reports there, numerous tickets were issued and the highest speed recorded was 51mph in a 30mph zone.
The neighbourhood teams across Buck continue to promote the community speed watch scheme, in which local residents volunteer to monitor the speeds in their neighbourhood with support from police.

Anti-social behaviour was highlighted as a top priority in the recent neighbourhood priorities survey by local residents so the Marlow team will continue to focus efforts on the issue. There has been increased reports on Marlow High street, Higginson Park, Peacock Road, Shelley Road

The neighbourhood team will carry out high visibility patrols at peak times, currently the issues are identified to take place in the evenings so the team will utilise their late shifts to put visibility in the area.
They will seek to stop and engage with any individuals suspected of causing issues as well as carry out stop searches where necessary. Intel will continue to be built around drug usage and drug dealing. There are a number of solutions the team utilise to tackle drug offences. While repeat offenders and drug dealing operations will face prosecution, community resolution orders can be given for lower level offending to prevent further offending. The local neighbourhood team have issued a number of these in the past 3 months, primarily for Class B drug possession.
