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:

    Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

    Issued 07 February 2025

    Action taken:

    The team continues to target ASB robustly and patrols hotspot locations identified through reports and intelligence submissions to the team. Repeat suspects are visited and dealt with at the earliest of opportunities. The team has regular meetings within the community and also with partner agencies and organisations. This allows the team to offer crime prevention and target hardening advice, discuss environmental surveys that have been conducted by various agencies and work collaboratively to deter ASB across our area. We have visited schools to educate youths of the effects of ASB on a community and we utilise the use of Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, Community Protection Warnings and Notices and Criminal Behaviour Orders. Regular "Have Your Say Events" are held across our area including recently in Watchfield, Frilford, Denchworth and Hanney to provide residents the opportunity to speak to officers and PCSOs and share their issues and thoughts resulting in more effective and targeted patrols. As the evenings get lighter and warmer, the team will conduct further high visibility foot patrols to show a presence and reassure the community.

    Actioned 07 February 2025

  • Priority:

    Retail crime

    Issued 07 February 2025

    Action taken:

    The team is aware of the national attention on shoplifting that affects Faringdon as a thriving Market town and other villages in our area with several large national companies operating among many small local businesses. The team conducts regular, high visibility patrols of the most frequent locations of thefts from shops in our area. The increased presence serves as a deterrent to offenders and as reassurance to staff and the public that this issue is taken seriously by the team. Multiple offenders have been identified and dealt with robustly resulting in several arrests and court disposals obtained and where eligible, out of court disposals utilised such as community resolutions and conditional cautions. The team offer crime prevention and target hardening advice to stores, some of which are utilising AI technology to tackle retail crime. We also work collaboratively to assist a Central TVP unit that works solely on targeting repeat offenders of theft from shops, where we have identified several offenders in their investigations, working to target their offending and bringing them to justice.

    Actioned 07 February 2025

  • Priority:

    Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

    Issued 07 February 2025

    Action taken:

    The team works hard to raise awareness of these offences and to educate the community to reduce them. Regular community engagement, especially within schools, helps to educate our community to the emotional and physical effects caused to victims of VAWG, thus raising awareness of this type of offending and increasing public confidence in challenging and reporting this to police. We engage with victims of VAWG to support them; provide crime reduction and target hardening advice where suitable. By working with partner agencies and local business, the team have been encouraging the engagement in the Pub Watch Scheme, Safer Spaces and the Ask Angela Scheme which have seen an increase in uptake, further reducing the opportunity for the commission of these offences and providing awareness and immediate support to victims. The team work hard to support victims and will deal robustly with offenders at the earliest opportunity, creating a safer community.
