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.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Henley Town Centre and Mill Meadows
Action taken:
The team have arranged a series of engagement and Have Your Say events in Mill Meadows and the Skate Park in order to combat the small numbers of ASB incidents that have been reported. As the summer months approach we are aware that these are hotspots and we will respond with an increased presence. We are already preparing for the Regatta which will see another increase in police presence.
There is a spate of criminal damage offences at Starbucks also being investigated by the team at present.
We are aware of a spike in youths gathering in Mill Meadows and will be working with partners on a plan to ensure their behaviour is lawful and not anti-social
