Woodley — 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
Anti-Social Behaviour in Woodley Town Centre
The Woodley Neighbourhood Team are continuing to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour within the local parks and within the Town Centre. During patrols the police have been made aware that as the evenings are getting lighter, groups of young people are causing anti-social behaviour in the precinct. The Woodley neighbourhood team have been increasing patrols within the precinct to identify the young people causing anti-social behaviour. During our patrols officers have passed words of advice to individuals identified to be causing trouble and have been moving individuals out of the precinct. Officers have also been meeting with the local council in regards to individuals who have been causing concern to residents. The police and council will be taking a joint agency approach to deal with individuals. We would like to remind parents that your children are your responsibility and you should be aware of where they are and what they are doing when out and about in the community. Also if you are witnessing anti-social behaviour please report this to police so we can build up a bigger picture. Update 01.06.26 - The police have been engaging with the homeless community and working alongside partner agencies on a long-term basis to explore permanent solutions. We have identified young persons involved in anti-social behaviour and enquiries are on-going. We are performing continued patrols within the area.
