Thames Valley Police is releasing the latest results of Project Vigilant, an initiative that targets those displaying predatory behaviour in the night-time economy.

The initiative uses a combination of uniformed and plain clothed officers to carry out patrols in public areas outside nightclubs, bars and pubs, to identify people who may be displaying signs of predatory behaviour, such as sexual harassment, inappropriate touching and loitering.

Fraud is the most frequently committed crime in our country. Fraudsters callously go after the most vulnerable, lying and emotionally manipulating their targets.

PCC, Matthew Barber, joined Abingdon Street Pastors on patrol in the town centre to see first-hand how £2,000 of funding provides essential support to those out on the town on Saturday nights.

With record numbers of police officers in Thames Valley I will ensure the Force focusses on improving neighbourhood policing, tackling anti-social behaviour and preventing crime. We now have more police officers than ever before, over 500 more than back in 2010!

Thames Valley Police has exceeded the national Uplift programme recruitment target which brings the total number of officers to over 5,000 across Thames Valley.
