DAY 10: Having your say about rural crime

Throughout the last five days, Chiltern and South Bucks have run six ‘Have Your Say’ meetings at key rural locations within the area.

Yesterday (8/8), a very successful ‘Have Your Say’ was run at Dorney Court Garden Centre in Dorney. Over 70 people met with PCSOs and had the chance to talk about what rural crime issues concerned them most. 30 attendees agreed to sign up to the Thames Valley Alert messaging service and the majority left with packs of crime prevention advice and ideas about how to secure their property and land.

You can find specific advice about how to protect your farm and land on the Country Watch pages on the Thames Valley Police website or contact your Neighbourhood Team at any time if you would like to speak to someone in person about protecting your property.

DAY 7: Tack marking at Snowball Farm and feisty Friesians on the A40

PCSO Vicky Kiffin had a busy day yesterday (7/8) marking up horse tack at Snowball Farm in Burnham. 40 pieces of tack were marked using Datatag’s equestrian security kits.

TVP have secured discounts on Datatag tack marking kits for Thames Valley horse owners. See the below flier for more info. If you would like to speak to your Neighbourhood Policing Team about securing your stables and tack, you can find out who they are and contact them via the TVP website.

In udder news...

PCSO Anish Sharma came across a group of unruly road users on the A40 in Gerrards Cross: The team tweeted: “We are responding to a report of a cow on the road on the A40 in Gerrards Cross - Please drive with care whilst we try and mooooo-ve it on!!”

It was later established a group of not one, but seven cows were loose on the road, milking the officer’s time and energy trying to remove these boisterous bovines back to where they came from.

Thankfully, the group caused no beef with other traffic and they were returned safely and unharmed.
