Thames Valley Police - Crime Reduction

Government web site for Crime Reduction.








1. INCREASED VISIBILITY
spot    "To hold an early meeting with a Senior Officer of Thames Valley Police, to raise village concerns and obtain an increased level and visibility of policing arrangements."

A copy of the Parish Plan will be passed on to the Chief Constables Office, requesting an official comment and a meeting to discuss our findings.





2. CRIME PREVENTION
spot    "To make available additional crime prevention advice and support to village households."

The beat officer has attended the last village fete, where the Appraisal Marquee had a range of crime prevention literature available. Also, PC Price has attended both Neighbourhood Watch meetings where he answered general questions on police matters and on crime reduction.

Generally it seems we are in a comparative low crime area, because the number of crime reports from our village is very small. Generally the perceived level of crime is much lower that what the actual recorded figures suggest, however if Thus we are encouraged to report all incidents however small, even if the Police can do nothing about it at the time, this ensure the police have a true picture of crime levels in the village.

We will try and keep our beat officer informed, and ensure he is aware of the date of the next Fete, when he hopefully will be able to attend.
