Windsor Central — 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.

We have worked with RBWM Council regarding the issues raised in Bachelors acre to locate the area of littering and graffiti. The RBWM wardens have been able to assist with this and a new CCTV Camera has been placed in the Brocas to detect and help prevent the youths banging on residence doors. The team have issued Acceptable Behaviour Contacts and Community protection warnings to those youths causing Anti Social Behaviour and a Protection warning for a drunk male causing further issues in the town. At the end of April 2026 Police issued a disposal order due to Anti Social Behaviour in The Brocas fields due to youths drinking and causing ASB issues.

Catapulting of birds and wildlife

The team have liaised with RBWM regarding a PSPO to be put in place for those that carry a catapult without good reason. On Tuesday 28 April, Cabinet agreed to introduce a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO), a tool used to tackle antisocial behaviour, covering Eton & Castle, Old Windsor, Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury. This follows reports of catapults being used to harm wildlife – including swans and other protected birds – and damage property. This will make it an offence to carry a catapult in public within the specified areas, giving Thames Valley Police officers and the council’s Community Wardens additional powers to intervene. Officers will be able to challenge anyone carrying a catapult, seize items where appropriate, and issue Fixed Penalty Notices of £100 on the spot. Subject to the standard governance process, the PSPO is expected to come into effect from Monday 11 May. Multiple Patrols have been conducted in the area throughout the month as part of daily duties. However ton Friday 24th April Windsor NHPT Officers along with the Rural Crime team conducted patrols in Windsor, Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury, on a dedicated operation to help protect wildlife and keep our communities safe. While out, officers also achieved the following outcomes: • 1 arrest for fail to appear • 2 community resolutions for drugs offences • 1 investigation commenced into possession of Class A drugs • 1 vehicle seized and driver reported for no insurance • 1 driver reported for failure to wear a seatbelt • 1 Stop Search resulting in the seizure of ball bearings used as ammunition Please note Datchet have their own priority around this too.
