New Rural Crime Taskforce to launch later this year
Following funding from the Police & Crime Commissioner, allocated in the 2021/22 budget, Thames Valley Police are launching a new Rural Crime Taskforce later this year.
Last week, Thames Valley Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) joined colleagues from the London and Lancashire VRUs in hosting a “virtual visit” for Victoria Atkins MP, Minister for Safeguarding.
Thames Valley Police receives an extra £735,000 to tackle serious violent crime, including knife crime and murder.
This investment is part of the £130.5 million funding package announced to tackle serious violent crime across England and Wales.
