Having your tools stolen isn’t just an inconvenience, it also results in financial loss, emotional strain and, depending on where the theft took place, security and community safety concerns.

As part of its’ ongoing campaign, the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner has organised a series of free tool marking sessions.

Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Barber, has welcomed the launch of Thames Valley Police’s new Roads Policing Unit (RPU) Tasking Team.

The operation also resulted in 87 positive outcomes for retail crime and 23 positive outcomes for antisocial behaviour, achieved through a combination of charges, out of court disposals and community resolutions. More than 5700 hotspot patrols were carried out, including proactive e‑scooter operations, antisocial behaviour patrols and highly visible reassurance policing.

Residents in Thames Valley are being short-changed by the Home Office for not properly funding the full costs of state visits in Windsor.

In the case of the visit of President Trump last year, known as Op Liberty this means that the Force is unable to reclaim around £900,000.
