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:
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Henley Town Centre and Mill Meadows
Action taken:
The team continue to work hard to combat anti-social behaviour in both the town and green spaces in Henley. We are aware of large gatherings of young people in Mill Meadows and hold regular engagement events, ensuring the gatherings are lawful and not anti-social. We are holding regular Have Your Say events in the area to obtain feedback from the public. With Regatta kicking off this week, expect an increased presence from the police to ensure the event and associated revelling does not adversely impact the wider public.

Priority:
Retail Crime in Henley Town Centre
Action taken:
Due to the hard work of the team earlier this year, retail crime in Henley has dipped dramatically. We patrol the town centre regularly, liaising with retailers and completing 15 minute touch down engagements. We continue to work closely with the Retail Crime team to identify trends, assist those stores most targeted to make it more difficult for criminals to offend there and track down those that cause the most harm to our retail outlets.

Priority:
Theft from Motor Vehicles in Henley
Action taken:
Again, another area of success for the team with Henley’s most prolific thief prosecuted for numerous offences recently, leading to a vast reduction in offending locally. We continue to work on a Criminal Behaviour Order for this individual to continue to protect residents from this crime type. The team continue to monitor this type of Neighbourhood Crime closely and welcome feedback from the public on their experiences.
