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:
Road Safety on Key Routes Around Newport Pagnell
Action taken:
Residents have raised concerns regarding speeding, dangerous driving and traffic related offences, particularly around school zones and busy commuter routes. Officers will conduct speed enforcement, work alongside Community Speedwatch, and take action against drivers who pose a risk to the community.
During OP DROVER (3 day operation), Officers conducted multiple speed watches and road safety activities within the rural villages and Newport Pagnell. 5 people were reported for driving offences (careless driving/ no insurance) and 60 speeding tickets were issued. High visibility patrols were completed over the days, to provide a deterrent. Also where communities have raised concerns around Road Safety, these have been fed directly back to the Community Safety team who supported the days of action.
