Update on Hungerford policing
Thames Valley Police reiterated previous reassurance that this change is not expected to have any negative impact on policing locally. The area continues to be served by a team of dedicated neighbourhood police constables and Police Community Support Officers, two of whom are stationed in Hungerford. In addition to neighbourhood teams, there are 24/7 police response teams and other specialist teams that serve the community.
