Rural Milton Keynes

Rural Crime & Property Security

In response to concerns around rural burglary, theft of agricultural equipment and criminal damage, officers carried out Operation Drover across Olney and the surrounding rural communities.

High-visibility patrols were conducted at farms, isolated properties, and other vulnerable locations to deter offenders, provide reassurance and identify suspicious activity.

Officers continue to engage with residents and landowners. We are completing home security checks, providing crime prevention advice, and encouraging sign-ups to TVP Alerts to improve information sharing and strengthen the security of rural properties.

Anti-Social Behaviour in Rural Communities

We are receiving reports of anti-social behaviour in recreation grounds and public spaces, including noise nuisance, environmental damage, and youth-related ASB in Olney.

We carried out high-visibility patrols at key times, engaged with individuals involved in disruptive behaviour, and worked closely with local partners to identify underlying causes. During these patrols, officers identified a number of suspicious vehicles and dealt with them robustly using early intervention tactics and community engagement to deter future incidents.

We are planning a day of action to educate and/or seize those seen to be riding e-scooters in public. Privately owned E-scooters are not legal to use on public roads, pavements, or any other public spaces. Riders may be reported for a range of driving offences, including having no insurance. Riders can face fines, penalty points, and the seizure of their E-scooter.

Your reports are being actively monitored, and fed back to the relevant department and agency (Milton Keynes Council) to support the Problem Solving approach. We encourage anyone affected by the anti-social behaviour to report it, as every report helps us build a clearer picture of the issues and take appropriate action.

Road Safety & Speeding in Rural Areas

We will continue to address road safety concerns through targeted enforcement and engagement activity in rural villages.

Officers will continue to conduct regular speed checks, high-visibility patrols, and operations at locations identified by local intelligence.

Any information gathered through community reports, local surveys, and collision data will be used to direct resources to areas of greatest concern.

Drivers found committing offences will be dealt with appropriately. Officers will continue to work with local communities to promote safer driving and improve road safety across the area.

Officers issued 2 PSPO tickets last week to drivers witnessed to be participating in car cruising and street racing.
