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

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Findings from our recent Neighbourhood Policing Priorities Survey have identified drug-related activity as a key concern among residents in Chesham and Missenden. This feedback highlights the impact that issues such as drug use, supply, and associated Anti-Social behaviour are having on the local community.

    Issued 01 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Residents have clearly expressed their expectation that police continue to prioritise action against drug-related harm, recognising its strong links to wider criminality and the negative impact it has on community safety and wellbeing. In response, the Neighbourhood Team is using this feedback to shape local policing activity, ensuring that patrols, engagement, and enforcement are focused on addressing these concerns.

    Information provided by the public regarding locations and individuals involved plays a vital role in this approach. It enables officers to plan targeted patrols, disrupt anti-social behaviour linked to drug misuse, and take action against those causing harm through the supply of illegal substances.
    Officers have been carrying out regular patrols in identified hotspot areas and have developed intelligence to support warrant applications. While some incidents involving drug possession can be dealt with quickly, others are more complex and require consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service. In certain cases, additional factors such as modern slavery and exploitation are also identified, requiring further investigation.

    Recently, a number of warrants have been executed in Chesham, resulting in arrests for offences including possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs. These investigations are often extensive, involving the analysis of digital devices, forensic examination, and parallel financial enquiries under proceeds of crime legislation.

    The Neighbourhood Team continues to work closely with partner agencies, including housing providers, particularly where concerns relate to drug misuse within residential properties. This joint approach has led to a range of positive outcomes, including formal warnings and criminal proceedings, helping to reduce harm and improve community safety.

    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 identified speeding as the second‑highest concern for residents across Amersham, Chesham and the Missendens. In Chesham, this remains a key priority for the neighbourhood team, and we are committed to addressing it through regular patrols, community engagement and targeted enforcement.

    Issued 01 June 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood team carries out routine speed checks across the area using roadside speed detection equipment. Drivers found exceeding the limit may be issued with tickets, and our visible presence often acts as a deterrent, encouraging motorists to reduce their speed. While enforcement activity is reduced during the winter months, you can expect to see an increase in operations throughout the spring and summer. Whilst road traffic offences are predominately managed by Roads Policing, planned enforcement days are being prepared by the Neighbourhood Team.

    Effectively tackling speeding requires a joint approach. Changing driver behaviour and attitudes takes time, and we continue to work closely with partners and the local community to make speeding socially unacceptable. Volunteers are always welcome to join Community Speed Watch in the Chesham area. If you are interested, please visit www.communityspeedwatch.org for further information on how to get involved.

    We are also aware that speeding concerns are often linked to Anti-Social behaviour, such as excessive noise from vehicles or reckless driving, particularly during late‑night hours in Chesham and the Missendens. These incidents can have a significant impact on residents. Where clear footage and registration details are available, officers can issue Section 59 warnings, allowing for stronger enforcement action if behaviour continues. We encourage residents to report incidents directly to police rather than sharing information solely on social media.

    Chesham officers continue to deal proactively with a range of traffic‑related offences, including uninsured driving. Appropriate enforcement action is taken in all cases. The team also frequently responds to reports of unsafe or inconsiderate driving across the area.

    In addition, officers regularly take action against anti‑social driving. In recent months, several vehicles have been stopped due to poor driving standards, with some seized after drivers were found to be unlicensed. These measures contribute to improving road safety for everyone.

    While not directly linked to speeding, residents may have seen the DVLA team working alongside neighbourhood officers in Chesham. These operations focus on identifying untaxed vehicles, helping to keep roads safer and addressing abandoned or non‑compliant vehicles. Although operational days are planned, specific dates are not publicised for operational reasons.

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

    Always call 999 if a crime is in progress or if there is an immediate risk of harm.

    Actioned 23 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Our recent Neighbourhood Priorities Survey revealed that the majority of Chesham 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 June 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood Team dedicates a significant amount of time to supporting residents with a wide range of Anti-Social behaviour (ASB) concerns across the community. In Chesham, this can include issues such as ongoing noise disturbances, neighbour disputes, reports of cannabis use or smells, littering, criminal damage, harassment, and incidents involving hate‑related behaviour. Regardless of the nature of the concern, our officers aim to engage with all parties involved, understand the circumstances, and work towards a positive and proportionate resolution.

    A large proportion of reported incidents are categorised as personal Anti-Social behaviour, often involving disputes between individuals or neighbours that can escalate over time. In these cases, the Neighbourhood Team frequently takes the lead, working closely with those affected to manage risk, provide advice, and, where appropriate, utilise formal interventions or partner agency support to bring about longer‑term solutions.

    Where Anti-Social behaviour crosses the threshold into criminality, neighbourhood officers are allocated to carry out full investigations. Some matters can be resolved quickly through early intervention, words of advice, or low‑level enforcement. However, other cases are more complex and require sustained engagement, evidence gathering, and partnership working. The team remains committed to seeing these matters through and ensuring that victims feel supported throughout the process.

    Where individuals responsible for ongoing Anti-Social behaviour are identified, officers will take firm, fair and proportionate action. This may include the use of warning letters, acceptable behaviour agreements, or more robust enforcement powers where necessary. Our focus remains on preventing further incidents, protecting those affected, and maintaining a safe environment for everyone in the community.

    Chesham remains one of the busier areas for Anti-Social behaviour across the wider policing area, alongside High Wycombe and Aylesbury. Officers regularly carry out Safer Streets foot patrols in the town centre and surrounding neighbourhoods, using a live‑tracking system to ensure resources are directed to the areas of greatest demand.

    We know that some of our car parks continue to attract groups who cause disturbances or leave litter behind. These areas have been long‑standing hotspots, but since the council installed a new CCTV camera, reports have reduced noticeably.

    We are aware of ongoing concerns regarding vehicles racing late at night and in the early hours. We encourage residents to report these incidents directly to the police, particularly if vehicle registration details can be provided as this enables officers to take targeted enforcement action against those responsible. Reporting incidents to us, rather than sharing them on social media, ensures we can respond appropriately and take effective action

    a Full Closure Order was granted by High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court in relation to a property on Wallington Road. This order restricts access to authorised persons only and is intended to address the persistent anti‑social behaviour linked to the address, providing reassurance and relief to the local community. Officers continue to take enforcement action in relation to this location, and a number of individuals have been arrested as part of ongoing activity to tackle the issues.

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