Twyford — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Thames Valley Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
Every neighbourhood in Thames Valley has a dedicated Neighbourhood Policing team. Neighbourhood Policing teams can be contacted via 101, the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number. Always call 999 in an emergency. Neighbourhood Policing teams… Are led by senior police officers and include police community support officers (PCSOs), often together with volunteer police officers, volunteers and partners. May serve one or several neighbourhoods. Work with local people and partners to identify, tackle and prevent local, low-level crime, anti-social behaviour, and any ongoing concerns. Provide you with a visible, accessible and accountable police service and aim to make your neighbourhood safer. Have been present in every Thames Valley neighbourhood since 1 April 2008. Focus all of their efforts on their dedicated neighbourhoods, building relationships with local people. Neighbourhood Policing… Needs you to tell us about the issues that concern you in your area. Has transformed policing at a local level, to meet the needs of local communities. Is known as ‘Safer Neighbourhoods’ in Milton Keynes. From the start of 2010, Thames Valley Police extended its neighbourhood consultation by introducing a wider range of publicised opportunities to meet neighbourhood teams. We will provide open monthly meetings to allow the public to influence our priorities. These meetings will be branded as Have Your Say opportunities, and in many cases will be held in conjunction with partners. View Have Your Say summary and flowchart (PDF 40 Kb - opens new window) . Once local priorities have been identified, a broader ‘toolkit’ of problem-solving tactics is being made available to ensure crime and anti-social behaviour is tackled effectively. Across the Thames Valley area, there are many successful Neighbourhood Action Groups which will continue to deliver local problem solving, but the introduction of Have Your Say meetings will allow neighbourhood teams to identify more quickly those specific local priorities that need attention. Thames Valley Police views the introduction of Have Your Say meetings as a positive step in tackling issues that matter most to the public. I welcome your support and engagement in this endeavour.

Current priorities
Raised through local engagement, we have been made aware of criminality occurring in the immediate vicinity of Twyford Railway Station. This has included theft of parcels on Station Terrace, drug use in the alleyway adjoining Waltham Road, and criminal damage to cars parked close to the station itself.
The local neighbourhood team are including this as a specific area of concern on their patrol activities, and will be working to encourage reporting of the theft offences to enable better opportunities to catch offenders. PCSO Maguire will work with Great Western Railway to establish evidence opportunities and to identify long term solutions.
Set: 2026-07-06
We have been made aware of anti-social behaviour issues in the alleyways linked to London Road in Twyford. This has included large groups loitering and disturbing businesses, and well as underage drinking and related shoplifting.
One young person has been apprehended following a number of shoplifting offences associated to this problem, and is currently under investigation whilst officers engage partner agencies and address safeguarding concerns. Our team will also look to complete patrol activities in the early evening, when this problem is reported as at its peak, and are engaging with local businesses to ensure that any opportunities to disrupt this problem are taken.
Set: 2026-07-06
We have been notified via social media and our neighbourhood survey of concerns relating to obstructive parking around the shops on Longfield Road. This has included parking in such a way that footpaths are impassable.
Whilst parking on double yellow lines is an offence type led by local authority enforcement, obstruction of pavements and roads is still dealt with by Police. Our officers issue fixed penalty notices where obstructive pavement parking is observed, and will review this area during patrols, issuing fixed penalties where this is observed.
