The shocking death of PC Andrew Harper in such tragic circumstances late on Thursday night have rocked Thames Valley Police Force and the community it services.
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Thames Valley has been awarded Home Office funding to support the creation of a Violence Reduction Unit (VRU).
Last week Thames Valley Police were required to use significant resources to remove travellers illegal camped on private land in Wycombe, but this was after what many residents considered a frustrating time of perceived inaction by the police.
Last month, many of us celebrated Armed Forces day. A few days earlier, and with a little less ceremony, was Reserve Forces Day. The contribution made to Britain’s defence by our reservists is pretty widely recognised.
Most people have no contact with the police - and that is the way they like it! Yet it is important to know that the police are there when you need them.
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Thames Valley has officially launched a gang awareness training programme for professionals across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
