Neighbourhood Policing working in partnership to make our community safer
The Thames Valley Police site appears to have been restructured late last year, making it much easier to find out who your local neighbourhood officers are, by postcode entry. This includes a crime map into which you can zoom.

Streetguide seems to provide a range of useful local information, including crime summaries. Again by postcode.

A new crime fighting partnership is hitting the fields and farms of rural Oxfordshire.
The Rural Crime Partnership is bringing together Thames Valley Police, West Oxfordshire, South Oxfordshire, Vale of the White Horse District Councils and the Community Safety Partnerships to tackle crimes such as fly-tipping, burglaries and theft in rural areas. There will also be more support for local communities on crime prevention as well an increase in the gathering and sharing of information about rural crime.
Rural crime affects victims’ livelihoods, physical and mental wellbeing and that of the wider community. In 2023 the National Farmers’ Union reported a 22 per cent increase in the value of rural crime with costs reaching a total estimate of £49.5 million across the UK.
The project has been made possible thanks to £156k funding the partnership secured from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley and the Home Office’s Safer Streets initiative.

TVP Message - 2024-02-26
Last week the TVP Rural Crime Taskforce arrested a male on suspicion of being the owner of a dog worrying livestock, owning a dog dangerously out of control and an offence under the Animal Welfare Act. These offences relate to an incident in Buckinghamshire area.
The Taskforce has also issued a community resolution for an incident of a dog worrying livestock at the beginning of February near Wantage.
During our South East Partnership Against Rural Crime week of action we want to remind dog owners to please keep dogs on leads. It is an offence to allow dogs to worry livestock and can result in significant injury and suffering to the animals involved, as well as being distressing for farmers.
There is a maximum fine of £1000 issued to those found guilty of allowing their dogs to worry livestock.
