About us

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:

    Drug use and suspected drug dealing have been identified as a significant concern by residents in Woodstock and Stonesfield. The Neighbourhood Policing Team recognises the impact that illegal drug activity can have on local communities, including increased anti-social behaviour, crime, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
    We are committed to tackling drug-related offending through a combination of enforcement, intelligence gathering, safeguarding, and partnership working. By working closely with local communities and partner agencies, we aim to disrupt those involved in the supply of illegal drugs while supporting those affected by substance misuse.

    Issued 29 September 2026

    Action taken:

    We have conducted patrols in areas where drug-related activity has been reported or identified.

    We have obtained and reviewed intelligence relating to drug use, drug dealing, and associated criminality - helping us to target locations and individuals.

    We have stop searched and dealt with individuals in possession of cannabis.

    We have worked with partner agencies to safeguard vulnerable people who may be at risk of exploitation or substance misuse.

    We continue to encourage residents to report information relating to drug activity in their communities.

    We will over the coming weeks and months continue our work with local schools, community groups, and partner organisations to raise awareness of the risks associated with drug use.

    Actioned 29 September 2026

  • Priority:

    Road safety has been identified as a key concern by residents across Woodstock and surrounding villages, with particular issues relating to speeding, drink and drug driving, and anti-social or dangerous parking.

    These behaviours can put road users, pedestrians, and local communities at risk, while also impacting residents' quality of life. The Neighbourhood Policing Team is committed to working with partner agencies and the community to address these concerns and improve safety across the area.

    Issued 29 September 2026

    Action taken:

    We have conducted targeted patrols in locations identified as speeding hotspots.

    We have carried out enforcement and intelligence-led operations targeting drink and drug drivers, leading in the recent weeks to another conviction in court and a driver having been disqualified and fined.

    We will be working with Community Speedwatch groups and local councils to identify and address road safety concerns.

    We have taken appropriate action against vehicles causing obstruction, danger, or anti-social parking issues.

    We have engaged with residents, schools, and community groups to promote safer driving behaviours.

    We have taken on board community feedback and reported incidents to identify emerging concerns and direct police resources effectively.

    Actioned 29 September 2026

  • Priority:

    Recent engagement with local retailers has identified shoplifting as a key concern within the Woodstock and Long Hanborough area, and it has been adopted as a local policing priority.

    While reports of shoplifting remain relatively low, feedback from businesses suggests that incidents may be underreported. The Neighbourhood Policing Team is therefore working closely with local retailers to encourage reporting, gather intelligence, and improve opportunities for positive outcomes through the criminal justice process.

    Shoplifting not only affects local businesses but can also contribute to wider issues within the community, including anti-social behaviour and fear of crime. To address this priority, officers will be carrying out targeted patrols in affected areas, engaging with local businesses, schools, and community groups, and taking robust enforcement action where offences are identified.

    We encourage anyone who witnesses or experiences shoplifting to report it so that appropriate action can be taken and patterns of offending can be identified.

    Issued 29 September 2026

    Action taken:

    We have continued to engage with local retailers and have encouraged the reporting of shoplifting offences.

    We have targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations to show presence and deter those active in shoplifting offences.

    We have worked with businesses to improve crime prevention measures and intelligence sharing, giving advice and encouraging wider use of CCTV as one example.

    We have engaged with schools to prevent offending and raise awareness.

    We have identified and pursued repeat offenders using intelligence-led policing tactics.

    We have taken positive enforcement action against offenders, assisting our Retail Crime Investigation Team, and have sought appropriate criminal justice outcomes.

    We regularly review reported incidents and community feedback to measure progress against the priority.
