Introduction from Matthew Barber (Police & Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley)
Communication with communities is vital; local councils are an important part of that. Although resources need to be focussed on cutting crime and catching criminals, reporting to communities is important.
Activity of Neighbourhood Policing teams is an operational matter for the Chief Constable, but I want to seek views in order to inform conversations with the Force to get the best, more efficient and effective way of reporting.
