Theft from motor vehicles continues to be an issue in Langley. Crimes did decrease in February and early March but we have seen an increase again. We have posted crime prevention advice to residents on social media and we are investigating all crimes with lines of enquiry. We have increased patrols overnight in hotspot areas which have been identified from crime data. We have done a number of plain clothes patrols and drone patrols at night time. 

Please email SloughNHPTMailbox@thamesvalley.police.uk if you have any information. 

In Colnbrook we have conducted a site visit with the council and highways in relation to the car meets on Poyle Road. We have been speaking to local businesses and attending and dispersing the meets when they happen. We await an update from highways about what prevention measures can be put in place. 

In Wexham we continue our extra patrols focusing on violence and knife crime. We conducted a successful drugs warrant at an address in Wexham and a male remains on bail for drug supply offences. 

Please sign up to TV Alerts so we can send you messages and updates about your local area www. thamesvalleyalert.co.uk

Neighbourhood’s general responsibilities 

School Patrols

When possible, PCSOs will rotate around the schools on the area to provide hi-visibility presence at the beginning and end of the school days. They do various talks and presentations to pupils. 

Community forums 

We will attend any community forums/residents meetings so that we can understand what the community need. We will work with the community and other agencies to try to tackle problems raised.  So please feel free to contact us if you would like us to attend any of your events at SloughNHPTMailbox@thamesvalley.police.uk

Community Speedwatch

If you are concerned about road safety, specifically speeding in your area, then you can do something about it. communityspeedwatch.org is a nationwide initiative to involve communities in dealing with the endemic problem of speeding. Visit the website to find out more or sign up.

Patrol Plan

At this time we are focusing our patrols around Willoughby Road, Alderbury Road, Meadfield Road and surrounding areas.

Kind Regards, 

PS 6957 Vicky SHEARS
