About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Our recent Neighbourhood Policing Priorities Survey showed that speeding is the second‑highest concern for residents across Amersham, Chesham and the Missendens. In Amersham, this continues to be a key priority for the neighbourhood team, and we remain focused on addressing speeding through regular patrols, engagement and targeted enforcement.

    Issued 01 April 2026

    Action taken:

    The neighbourhood team carries out regular speed checks and enforcement across the area, using roadside speed guns to deter speeding and take action where necessary. Drivers found exceeding the limit may receive tickets, and our visible presence alone often encourages motorists to slow down.
    Tackling speeding effectively requires a joined‑up approach. Changing driving habits and attitudes takes time, and we work closely with partners and the community to make speeding socially unacceptable. Volunteers are always welcome for Community Speed Watch in the Amersham area, and we encourage anyone interested to visit www.communityspeedwatch.org to see how they can get involved.

    Some speeding concerns also link to anti‑social behaviour, such as loud exhausts or reckless driving late at night. These incidents can be very distressing for residents. Where officers have obtained clear footage and registration details, drivers have been issued with Section 59 warnings, which allow us to take stronger action if the behaviour continues.

    Amersham officers continue to deal with a range of traffic‑related offences, including uninsured drivers, and appropriate enforcement action has been taken in every case. The team also regularly responds to reports of unsafe or inconsiderate driving across the area.

    One recurring issue has been vehicles parking on the zig‑zag lines outside on Sycamore Road. Officers have been attending and issuing fixed‑penalty tickets to address this and help keep the area safe.

    The team also deals with anti‑social driving. In recent months, several vehicles have been stopped due to the manner of driving, and some have been seized after drivers were found to have no licence. These actions help reduce dangerous behaviour on our roads and improve safety for everyone.

    Looking ahead, the neighbourhood team is planning dedicated speeding‑enforcement days in the coming months to further support community concerns and encourage safer driving across Amersham.

    If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
    Call 999 if crime in progress or you are at risk of harm.

  • Priority:

    Our recent Neighbourhood Policing Priorities Survey highlighted burglary as the primary concern for Amersham residents. In response, burglary prevention and investigation will continue to remain a key priority for the team

    Issued 01 April 2026

    Action taken:

    The neighbourhood team plays a vital role in preventing burglary through proactive, targeted patrols in areas affected by recent offences. One key tactic is cocooning, where officers visit neighbours and nearby residents following a burglary to offer tailored crime‑prevention advice and reassurance.

    In addition to patrol activity, the team regularly organises Have Your Say events. These sessions see PCSOs and often PCs setting up stands in busy community locations such as high streets and shopping areas. They provide crime‑prevention materials, engage with residents, answer questions, and listen to concerns about local issues. Upcoming events are advertised on the events tab of this page.

    While burglary investigations are typically led by detectives, neighbourhood officers contribute significantly by attending reported burglaries, conducting initial enquiries, identifying potential suspects, and offering reassurance to victims and the wider community. Their high‑visibility presence is carefully planned, with patrols directed to areas most at risk and specific tasks allocated to support crime reduction.
    Officers continue to take part in cross‑border operations, including Operation Pandilla, which has resulted in numerous arrests across the Chiltern and South Bucks area. Further operations are planned.

    If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
    Call 999 if crime in progress or you are at risk of harm.

    Actioned 08 April 2026

  • Priority:

    Our recent Neighbourhood Priorities Survey revealed that the majority of Amersham residents consider anti‑social behaviour to be one of the key issues they want their local neighbourhood team to address. In response, we continue to carry out targeted activity across the area to reduce and prevent anti‑social behaviour. This remains a standing priority for the team.

    Issued 01 April 2026

    Action taken:

    The neighbourhood team spends a great deal of time supporting residents with a wide range of anti‑social behaviour concerns. In Amersham, this can include anything from noise complaints and neighbour disputes to reports of cannabis smells, littering, criminal damage, harassment, and hate‑related incidents. Whatever the issue, our officers work hard to respond and find a positive way forward.
    When anti‑social behaviour amounts to a crime, neighbourhood officers are assigned to investigate. Many situations are resolved quickly, while others take longer and need ongoing attention, but we remain committed to tackling them.

    We’re aware that some of our car parks, leisure areas and parts of the town centre continue to attract groups whose behaviour can cause disturbances. These locations have been long‑standing hotspots, and we remain committed to responding to reports and supporting those affected.
    Whenever individuals are identified as causing problems, officers take firm and appropriate action to address the behaviour and prevent it from continuing.

    A recent example involved a group of youths causing disturbances in the town centre, including inside local shops and recreational areas. After officers identified those responsible, a Community Protection Warning was issued to address the behaviour and prevent further issues.

    If you have any information please report on 101 or online at www. thamesvalley.police.uk.
