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.

Priority:
Anti-social behaviour continues to be a neighbourhood priority that the Wycombe East team focus on, with their main aim being to increase positive outcomes for ASB crime. They will do so be increasing the use powers such as closure orders, criminal behaviour orders and community protection warnings/notices. They will also look to maximise partnership working, working with housing and the council to come up with new solutions.
Recently the team have been focusing on issues such as nitrous oxide usage and the subsequent littering of cans, it has been seen that this is often linked to vehicle anti-social behaviour.
Action taken:
The team have completed high visibility patrols throughout Totteridge and Micklefield, specifically on streets and residential areas that are the most impact by anti-social behaviour and targeting the patrols at times of day where the behaviour is reported to be most prominent. They will continue to do so in order to both collect intelligence and deter anti-social behaviour.
The team also continue to hold their Have You Say events, routinely committing to a few every month to give local residents the opportunity to voice any concerns for their community which is very useful for the team, in return people are offered crime prevention and safety advice.
