Chiltern Community Forum helps identify: • Chiltern community’s major concerns. • Which most suitable for TVP Neighbourhood Policing. 6 • Which are being addressed elsewhere within TVP or nationally, and how to access resources. • Where involvement of community and other agencies can complement the work of TVP. Partnered with Thames Valley Police and Chiltern & South Bucks Community Safety Team. Why is it needed? Statutory answer: Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 Chief officer of police must: • make arrangements for obtaining views on crime and 7 disorder within neighbourhood; • make arrangements for providing information about policing in that neighbourhood; • make arrangements for regular meetings between community and police officers with responsibility for policing in that neighbourhood. Why is it needed? Philosophical answer: ‘Consent’ model of British policing • Policing underpinned by public approval. • Force-wide, national priorities have become more 8 dominant; funding scarcer and more from local taxes. • Need to balance national/regional priorities with the more local demands of neighbourhood policing. • “Ignore the local community, you lose the support of the public.” • Forum provides platform for dialogue and narrative. Quarterly Meeting and Priorities Cycle • Open-to-all public meetings, moving around Chiltern. • Surveys of local concerns 9 beforehand – including youth survey. • Police reports on previous priorities, discussion on these and other policing/crime matters. • Coming quarter priorities set. Quarterly Meeting – February Survey 10 Quarterly Meeting – February Priorities 11 Balance in Action – Knife Crime NHPT priority in Nov, but dropped in Feb – WHY? • NHPT activity and work of new Schools & Youth Liaison Officer: 2 knife arch operations found zero knives, recent knife amnesty yielded only 4 knives. 12 • Weapons possession consistently lowest reported crime category in Chiltern. • PC Claire Annison explained planned ongoing work with schools, colleges, youth groups. • Upcoming Thames Valley-wide Operation Sceptre. • Still no room for complacency, Knife Crime higher concern in youth survey than main survey. Community – Joining the Dots 13 How YOU can help • Help spread the word • Complete the surveys – and encourage others • Attend and participate at meetings 14 Next meeting: 6pm Thursday May 23, Chiltern Hills Academy • Follow us on Twitter @ChilternForum • Bring us suggestions and feedback www.chilterncommunityforum.org @ChilternForum [email protected] Minute Item 7 Chesham LAF report – March 19 Burglary Throughout the past months residential burglary offences have had neighbourhood officers give crime prevention advice which includes the application of Selecta DNA.

I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

Lynne Gibson – Dovedale Designs – member of the community Katie Galvin – Community Safety Manager Welcome and introductions made. It was highlighted that the neighbourhood survey results have some confidential information within the free text. Please only share the bar graph with others and not the free text. All agreed. TVP Chiltern Area Policing Priorities: A reduction in residential burglary A reduction in serious violence An improvement in victim satisfaction Continued improvement in our response to domestic abuse victimisation An increase in confidence of victims of hidden harm to report incidents and crimes A continued improvement in the identification and safeguarding of children and adults vulnerable to exploitation. A continued increase in the confidence of rural communities to report crime A continued improvement in our response to fraud (including cyber fraud) A discussion was had to show that the above priorities set by the Police and Crime Commissioner is often different to the priorities that the neighbourhood wish to see being addressed. #cleanChesham is taking place this Saturday. This is a great example of the community (led by EC) addressing a local issue (littering) rather than expecting the police to tackle it.
