Having your tools stolen isn’t just an inconvenience, it also results in financial loss, emotional strain and, depending on where the theft took place, security and community safety concerns.

A total of £200,000 of grant funding is available for community and voluntary groups to apply for to help reduce crime across Thames Valley.

Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Barber, has welcomed the launch of Thames Valley Police’s new Roads Policing Unit (RPU) Tasking Team.

Residents in Thames Valley are being short-changed by the Home Office for not properly funding the full costs of state visits in Windsor.

The operation also resulted in 87 positive outcomes for retail crime and 23 positive outcomes for antisocial behaviour, achieved through a combination of charges, out of court disposals and community resolutions.
