'''Thames Valley Police''' is the [[territorial police force]] responsible for policing the [[Thames Valley]] region, covering the counties of [[Berkshire]], [[Buckinghamshire]] and [[Oxfordshire]] in [[South East England]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news_info/info/about.htm |title=About Thames Valley Police |publisher=Thames Valley Police |access-date=22 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070222115940/http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news_info/info/about.htm |archive-date=22 February 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://thamesvalley.police.uk/yournh/yournh-tvp-pol-area.htm |title=Thames Valley police area |publisher=Thames Valley Police |access-date=19 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316032902/http://thamesvalley.police.uk/yournh/yournh-tvp-pol-area.htm |archive-date=16 March 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
It is the largest non-metropolitan police force in [[England]] and [[Wales]], covering {{convert|2218|sqmi}} and a population of 2.42 million people.<ref name = hmicfrsoverview >{{cite web | url = https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/police-forces/thames-valley/ | publisher = HMICFRS | title = Overview: Thames Valley Police | access-date = 9 June 2021}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=British Police History |url=https://british-police-history.uk/f/thames-valley/ |access-date=2022-10-06 |website=british-police-history.uk}}</ref>

==History==
Prior to the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 there were ancient ways of keeping law and order through Parish constables or quasi police bodies who conducted a wide range of duties. Modern policing in Thames Valley can be traced back to the 1835 act when a number of boroughs set up police forces. For example [[Newbury Borough Police]] were operating as a small police force soon after the passing of the Act. The force was one of around twenty borough forces that were later amalgamated with their county police force. These were [[Buckinghamshire Constabulary]], [[Oxfordshire Constabulary]], [[Berkshire Constabulary]], [[Reading Borough Police]] and [[Oxford City Police]] founded in 1857, 1857, 1856, 1836 and 1868 respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.headington.org.uk/history/misc/police.htm |title=History of Headington, Oxford |publisher=Headington.org.uk |access-date=18 May 2013}}</ref> Under the [[Police Act 1964]] these five forces were amalgamated on 1 April 1968 to form the Thames Valley Constabulary.

Thames Valley Police has changed its name only once in its own history in 1971, from Thames Valley Constabulary to Thames Valley Police, a common change in most police forces that gives the appearance of being more accessible.

Thames Valley Police's motto in Latin is ''Sit pax in valle tamesis'' meaning 'Let there be Peace in the Thames Valley', their slogan is 'Reducing crime, disorder and fear'.<ref>{{cite web |title=Thames Valley Police Authority – Coat of Arms |url=http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news_info/info/crest.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050912220921/http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news_info/info/crest.htm |archive-date=12 September 2005 |access-date=25 October 2005 |publisher=Thames Valley Police}}</ref> The Thames Valley Police shield is made up of features from the shields of its five founding constabularies including a blue river depicting the [[Thames]] river and five crowns palisado depicting the five founding forces. The stag is a symbol of Berkshire, the ox a symbol of Oxfordshire and the swan a symbol of Buckinghamshire. Together they represent the counties of the force area.

===Chief constables===

==Governance==
Thames Valley Police is overseen by a locally elected [[Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner]]. The incumbent commissioner is [[Matthew Barber (politician)|Matthew Barber]], a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] candidate elected in May 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cherwell.gov.uk/PCCResult2021|title=Elections 2021 - Police and Crime Commissioner - Thames Valley Police Area|work=Cherwell District Council|date=10 May 2021|access-date=10 May 2021|archive-date=10 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210510134721/https://www.cherwell.gov.uk/PCCResult2021|url-status=dead}}</ref> The [[police and crime commissioner]] is scrutinised by the Thames Valley Police and Crime Panel.

Thames Valley was previously overseen by a [[Police Authority|police authority]] consisting of 19 members, made up of councillors, members from unitary authorities, independents and a magistrate.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Thames Valley Police Authority |url=http://www.tvpa.police.uk/aboutus/whoweare-members.cfm |archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120831143636/http%3A//www.tvpa.police.uk/aboutus/whoweare%2Dmembers.cfm |url-status=dead |archive-date=31 August 2012 |title=Who we are – Members |access-date=24 January 2006 }}</ref>

==Organisation==
In April 2011 the force adopted a local policing model and was split into twelve local policing areas (LPAs), each led by a [[Superintendent (police)|Superintendent]] or [[Chief superintendent|Chief Superintendent]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Thornton |first=Sara |last2=Chase |first2=Steven |date=2012-02-17 |title=Transforming Thames Valley police |url=https://www.theguardian.com/public-leaders-network/blog/2012/feb/17/thames-valley-police-restructure |access-date=2025-09-23 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> These consist of one or two local authority areas. The LPAs in turn are split into a number of "neighbourhoods" based on wards and parishes. 

=== Local Policing Areas ===
* [[Milton Keynes]]
* [[Aylesbury Vale]]
* [[Cherwell District|Cherwell]] and [[West Oxfordshire]]
* [[Oxford]]
* [[South Oxfordshire]] and [[Vale of White Horse]]
* [[South Bucks|South Buckinghamshire]]
* [[Slough]]
* [[Windsor, Berkshire|Windsor]] and [[Maidenhead]]
* [[Bracknell]] and [[Wokingham]]
* [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]]
* [[West Berkshire]]
Each area is responsible for delivering response policing, neighbourhood policing teams, and local investigative units including a tasking, priority crime and [[Criminal Investigation Department]] (CID). Other functions that used to be held at a local level are now delivered at force headquarters level using a shared service approach, with resources deployed as required around the force area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thames Valley Police Local Policing Areas – TVP Careers |url=https://tvpcareers.co.uk/roles/police-officer/thames-valley-police-local-policing-areas/ |access-date=2022-10-06 |website=tvpcareers.co.uk}}</ref> 

=== Force Headquarters Teams ===
A number of teams are run from force headquarters and their staff are deployed at various locations around the area:

* Major Investigation Team
* [[Corporate communication|Control and Communications]]
* [[Police dog|Police Dog Section]]
* [[Counter-terrorism|Counter Terrorism Unit]]
* [[Police intelligence|Intelligence Agency]]

== Operations ==

=== Neighbourhood Policing Team (NHPT) ===
Each LPA is sub-divided into neighbourhood wards, which are covered by a dedicated policing team that works together with the local community and partners to tackle local priorities and community crimes. NHPTs are typically conduct high-visibility patrols in their local areas, engaging with the community and solving issues affecting them.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Neighbourhood policing {{!}} Thames Valley Police |url=https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/police-forces/thames-valley-police/areas/au/about-us/our-people/neighbourhood-policing/ |access-date=2023-01-01}}</ref>

=== Incident Crime & Response (ICR) ===
[[File:Thames Valley Police Vauxhall Movano.jpg|thumb|A public order van, used by ICR and NHPT teams for Night Time Economy patrols, or response to public order incidents.]]Frontline response officers who work out of patrol bases in the force area and are tasked with patrolling and responding to 999 calls. Officers also conduct investigations into the calls they attend. These officers are often issued with the [[TASER X2]]. ICR officers may be tasked to patrol high crime areas for an increased police presence or to conduct follow up investigations. Officers use the [[Vauxhall Astra|Vauxhall Astra Estate]], [[Mitsubishi L200]], [[Peugeot 308|Peugeot 308 SW]] and [[Vauxhall vivaro|Vauxhall Vivaro]] to conduct their patrols. 

=== Dog Section ===
Thames Valley Police have approximately 52 operational [[police dog]]s. The dogs are mostly donated from the RSPCA or public, and are trained at the Force Training Centre. They usually serve until they are 8 years old, receiving refresher training every year, and then living with their handler after retirement. They are part of the Joint Operations Unit with Hampshire Police. The dog section operates with marked and unmarked Mitsubishi Outlanders and Ford Mondeo estates.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

=== Roads Policing Unit (RPU) ===
[[File:Thames Valley Police Volvo V70.jpg|thumb|A Roads Policing Unit [[Volvo V70]]]]Thames Valley Police patrols {{convert|196|mi|km}} of [[motorways]], the most of any police force in the UK.<ref name=":0" /> This includes the M1, M4, M40, A329(M), A404(M) and M25, as well as many other 'A' route roads including the A43.

These units are based at 6 geographical traffic bases - Milton Keynes, Taplow, Three Mile Cross (Reading), Bicester, Amersham and Abingdon. Roads Policing in Thames Valley is part of the Joint Operations Unit which works together with Hampshire Constabulary's Roads Policing Unit.

=== Armed Response Unit (ARU) ===
Thames Valley Police's Armed Response Unit is a 24/7 unit that responds to major and serious crimes where firearms may be involved. This unit is shared with [[Hampshire Police]] as part of the Joint Operations Unit.

The training facility is at Sulhamstead with a state of the art firearms range. The unit mostly shares the traffic bases within the force.

=== Pro-Active Team ===
{{unreferenced section|date=February 2021}}
This team featured in the TV show ''Road Wars''.

This unit is part of Roads Policing and mainly uses unmarked cars across the force area. Instead of just responding to incidents, the unit uses a proactive approach by actively looking for criminals and catching them in the act, as well as patrolling areas based on intelligence.

The team works in a number of areas including Forced Method of Entry, targeted intelligence and specialist surveillance of criminals both covertly and overtly.

=== Air Operations Unit ===
[[File:EGUB - Eurocopter EC135P2+ - G-TVHB (46372567491).jpg|thumb|221x221px|Since transfer to the [[National Police Air Service]], G-TVHB continues to service the Thames Valley Police area from its base at [[RAF Benson]]]]
The Air Support Unit was officially created in 1982, but the use of helicopters in Thames Valley goes back to 1963, when Oxford City Police experimented with a Brantly helicopter with a dog basket attached to the skids. Thames Valley Police rented helicopters for use on special occasions in the 1970s and '80s. The unit was founded in 1982 when part-time daylight flights were routinely contracted and eight [[Police Sergeant|Sergeants]] were transferred from Traffic and Operations to ASU.  In 1986, the unit was moved to RAF Abingdon.

In 1988, the department became a full-time operational unit, only the third in the country at the time and a sergeant and two police constables were seconded to the unit as observers. Throughout this time the helicopters and pilots were chartered from commercial companies.

In 1996, Thames Valley Police, [[Bedfordshire Police]] and [[Hertfordshire Constabulary]] amalgamated air support resources and founded the [[Chiltern Air Support Unit]], having received funding in 1995 to buy a second helicopter. The alliance is recognised to have started unofficially in 1992, when Thames Valley would sell flying time to its nearby forces. Helicopters were based at [[RAF Henlow]] and [[RAF Benson]], providing support 24/7, with night-time cover from at least one base. 

Since 2012, the management of police air-support nationally has moved to the [[National Police Air Service]] (NPAS). G-TVHB continues to be based at RAF Benson, whilst the Henlow base was closed and helicopter relocated elsewhere by NPAS.

===Search and Recovery Unit===
Founded in 1956 as the Underwater Search Unit of [[Berkshire Constabulary]] and transferred to Thames Valley Police under a new name, the unit today is made up of one [[Police Sergeant|sergeant]] and seven [[Police constable|constables]] and respond to around 350 operations each year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/aboutus/aboutus-depts/aboutus-depts-ts/aboutus-depts-ssrt |title=Thames Valley Police - Specialist Search and Recovery Team |publisher=Thamesvalley.police.uk |access-date=18 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315121620/http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/aboutus/aboutus-depts/aboutus-depts-ts/aboutus-depts-ssrt |archive-date=15 March 2012}}</ref>

==Locations==
[[File:Police station in Oxford.JPG|thumb|Oxford Police Station]]
The headquarters of Thames Valley Police is at Oxford Road, [[Kidlington]], Oxfordshire. Thames Valley Police has 48 [[police station]]s, with 16 front counters open to the public.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/your-local-area/find-police-station/ |title=Find Your Police Station |access-date=13 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214020018/https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/your-local-area/find-police-station/ |archive-date=14 December 2017 |url-status=dead  }}</ref>

The force is covered by two control rooms, one in [[Abingdon, Oxfordshire|Abingdon]], and one in [[Milton Keynes]].

The three police contact centres were formed in 2003, following the closure of local control rooms, to support the newly formed control rooms in Abingdon and Milton Keynes. They are located at the force headquarters in Kidlington, and separate teams within the Abingdon and Milton Keynes control rooms. The contact centres handle all emergency, non-emergency and enquiry calls from the public.

Sulhamstead House in [[Sulhamstead]], near Reading, is the Force Training Centre. It also houses the [[Thames Valley Police Museum]], as well as operational units and fleet workshops.

[[RAF Upper Heyford|Upper Heyford Park]] serves as the force's Public Order Department base and training centre.

There are also several [[Road Policing Unit|roads policing]] bases at strategic locations around the force at Abingdon, Bicester, Taplow, Amersham, Milton Keynes, and Three Mile Cross. Many of these also feature armouries for the Armed Response Unit. 

==Presentation==
=== Headgear ===
[[File:WMP Museum - Thames Valley Police hat badge 01.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|left|The Thames Valley Police cap badge]] Male officers typically can wear a flat cap or traditional [[custodian helmet]], while females are issued the [[bowler hat]]. The custodian helmet was dropped for practicality and cost reasons in 2009, but was reintroduced in 2018 yet is only typically seen by officers conducting foot patrols. [[Traffic officer|Traffic officers]] wear either a white flat cap or bowler hat. 

In 2009 Thames Valley Police proposed to be the first force to introduce the use of baseball caps as a primary mode of headgear. After trials were conducted the proposal was dropped as being 'a step too far from the professional image of the force'.<ref name="oxfordmail.co.uk">{{cite web|url=http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/4241758.Thames_Valley_Police_unveil_updated_uniform/ |title=Thames Valley Police unveil updated uniform (From Oxford Mail) |publisher=Oxfordmail.co.uk |date=28 March 2009 |access-date=18 May 2013}}</ref>

Other units tend to wear police baseball caps, with other specialist headgear worn accordingly.

=== Uniform ===
Officers wear a short- or long-sleeve, black wicking top under their body armour, and black uniform trousers with cargo pockets. Soft-shell and high-visibility jackets are also issued to all officers. [[Epaulette]]s feature the [[Police rank|rank]] and [[shoulder number]] of an officer. Officers the rank of inspector or above may wear white shirts, with the force badge worn on the left of their chest.

Formal dress comprises an open-necked tunic, with a white shirt or blouse and tie for both male and female officers. All officers wear peaked caps and their rank on their epaulettes. The No.1 uniform is accompanied by black boots or shoes and occasionally gloves.

The operational uniform, until 2009, consisted of traditional white shirt and tie. This was dropped when it was deemed to be impractical and outdated – not withstanding the retention of this uniform by other forces and the almost universal retention of the helmet.<ref name="oxfordmail.co.uk" />
However, starting with the Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, TVP has started issuing the custodian helmet again.

Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) wear a similar uniform to police officers on patrol, but consisting of a blue wicking top and single blue band on flat caps. Other staff may wear wicking tops or white shirts, depending on role.

Police vehicles contain a variety of equipment, which can include [[Baton (law enforcement)#Straightstick|Arnold]] batons, shields, [[traffic cone]]s, road signs, [[breathalyzer|breathalyser]]s, [[Spike strip|stingers]], speed guns, [[Automatic number-plate recognition|ANPR]] cameras and more.

=== Livery ===
Marked vehicles use the modern yellow and blue retro-reflective [[battenberg markings]] on operational vehicles, as well as the Thames Valley Police shield and website link. Some semi-marked cars are used by Neighbourhood Policing Teams, which only have plain Thames Valley Police markings on the back and sides.

Thames Valley Police stopped using the '[[Jam sandwich (police car)|jam sandwich]]' police car markings between 2000 and 2005 when [[battenburg markings]] were adopted and implemented.

==Strength and recruitment==
Thames Valley Police employs 7,900 people and 908 volunteers.{{citation needed|date=May 2021|reason = Where are these numbers from? When are these numbers from?}} Of which 4,250 are warranted [[police officer]]s, over 500 are [[police community support officer]]s (PCSO) and 3,150 are civilian staff. Of the 908 volunteers, 500 are [[police support volunteer]]s (PSV) and 280 are warranted [[special constables]].{{clarify|date=May 2021|reason = How does 500+733=908?}}

Training for new recruits in Thames Valley is held at the Force Training Centre, [[Sulhamstead]]. Officers attend a (sometimes residential) training course, and are then deployed for continued tutoring at their posting. Officers will achieve independent patrol status once on area, usually within four months of completing initial training. PCSOs receive 18 weeks of training at Sulhamstead. Special constables see between six and seven months of training at weekends, with mandatory online training in between. Special constables will achieve fit for independent patrol status, usually within one year, but this is dependent on the number of tours of duty.

Recruits receive their [[Police uniforms and equipment in the United Kingdom|uniform]] and kit in the first week of training. [[Warrant card]]s are issued at [[Police oath#United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|attestation]], where new officers swear their oath at the start of the second day of training.

===Future of Thames Valley Police===
{{update|section|date=February 2021}}
In a report published by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in July 2011,<ref>{{cite web|publisher=HMIC|date=July 2011|url=http://www.hmic.gov.uk/media/thames-valley-valuing-the-police-preparedness-inspection-20110721.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110804155136/http://www.hmic.gov.uk/media/thames-valley-valuing-the-police-preparedness-inspection-20110721.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 August 2011|title=Valuing the Police: Preparedness Inspection - Thames Valley Police|access-date=25 November 2013}}</ref> the impact on the number of police officers and staff partly due to the reduction to Thames Valley Police's budget following the comprehensive spending review is as follows:

== Performance ==

=== His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary ===
A report from March 2010 by [[His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services|HM Inspectorate of Constabulary]] marked Thames Valley Police as 'fair' on local crime and policing, 'fair' on protection from serious harm and 'fair' on confidence and satisfaction.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.hmic.gov.uk/PoliceReportCard/ThamesValley/Pages/ReportCard.aspx | archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101220040733/http://www.hmic.gov.uk/PoliceReportCard/ThamesValley/Pages/ReportCard.aspx | url-status=dead | archive-date=2010-12-20 | title=UK Government Web Archive }}</ref>

In detail, Thames Valley was awarded only one 'excellent' for reducing road death and injury. They were 'fair' in all other categories except 'solving crime' and 'comparative satisfaction of BME community' and 'low/medium' for 'number of police officers and PCSOs'. They were praised for their 14% reduction in burglary after 'Operation Breaker' in July 2009.

=== Independent Police Complaints Commission ===
In the year 2008/9 the number of complaints recorded decreased by 2% but an increase of 8% above the previous years national average. The number of allegations recorded increased by 23% and 11% above the previous years national average.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-12566885 | work=BBC News | title=Complaints about Thames Valley Police increase | date=24 February 2011}}</ref><ref name="ipcc.gov.uk">{{cite web|url=http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/search/results.aspx?k=Thames%20Valley%20Police&cs=This%20Site&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipcc.gov.uk |title=Search Center : Thames Valley Police |publisher=Ipcc.gov.uk |access-date=18 May 2013}}</ref>
Thames Valley Police received 947 complaints and 1903 allegations, the national average being 338 per 1000 officers, TVP has 372, and TVP is just above 369 per 1000 officers, the average from a group of similar forces.

Of allegations 23% were 'failure or neglect in duty', 19% were 'incivility, impoliteness and intolerance', 14% 'assault', 4% were 'discrimination' and 1% were 'breach of PACE Code A'.<ref name="ipcc.gov.uk"/>

And of the 1903 allegations, 51% were investigated, 36% were locally resolved, 6% were withdrawn, 7% were dispensed and 0% were discontinued. Of the 51% allegations investigated 13% were substantiated and 87% were unsubstantiated.<ref name="ipcc.gov.uk"/>

Thames Valley Police investigates the greatest amount of allegations compared to its peer forces, its investigation rate is 15% higher than the national average. Its use of 'local resolution' has dropped 12% since 2005/6. Thames Valley has fewer allegations that are withdrawn, dispensed or discontinued.<ref name="ipcc.gov.uk"/>

===PEEL inspection 2022===
[[His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services]] (HMICFRS) conducts a periodic police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy (PEEL) inspection of each police service's performance. In its latest PEEL inspection, Thames Valley Police was rated as follows:<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/wp-content/uploads/peel-assessment-2021-22-thames-valley-police.pdf | title = PEEL 2021/22 Police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy: An inspection of Thames Valley Police |work= [[His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services]] | date = 28 April 2022 | access-date = 1 May 2022}}</ref>

==Controversy==

===Firearms training incident===
On 30 May 2007 at Thames Valley Police headquarters in Kidlington whilst teaching a half-day course on firearms, PC David Micklethwaite demonstrated a [[Magnum .44]] revolver which he had mistakenly loaded with live rounds. He pointed the gun at Keith Tilbury, a police phone operator attending the course, and fired the gun, almost killing Tilbury.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article6840622.ece | archive-url=https://archive.today/20110629140732/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article6840622.ece | url-status=dead | archive-date=29 June 2011 | location=London | work=The Times | first=Sadie | last=Gray | title=Thames Valley police instructor shot civilian during training course | date=19 September 2009}}</ref>

The firearms instructor was reported to have failed the qualification at a [[Metropolitan Police]] training course, but TVP decided he would pass their less stringent test and was therefore suitable to teach the lesson, despite not having been provided with additional training since failing the Metropolitan Police course. The instructor was told to cover the lesson at short notice and accidentally picked up a live round from the force's armoury instead of dummy rounds.  This mistake occurred due to both live and dummy rounds both being kept in the same [[Quality Street (confection)|Quality Street]] tin.<ref>{{cite news

Keith Tilbury underwent immediate surgery to his bowel, kidney, lung and liver. In court, it was said he was unlikely to work again.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

Thames Valley Police pleaded guilty to breaching regulations; they were fined £40,000 and £25,000 for legal costs. Constable Micklethwaite initially denied any wrongdoing, but later admitted to breaching the [[Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974]].  PC Micklethwaite was not charged with misconduct because he retired from the Thames Valley Police before misconduct proceedings could be completed.<ref>{{cite web

===Underage PCSOs===
In 2007 Thames Valley Police admitted to being one of five UK forces that had employed [[Police Community Support Officer]]s that were aged 16. This is not illegal as the minimum age limit of 18 applies to [[Police constable|Constables]], not PCSOs. However, concerns were raised that this represented "policing on the cheap" as candidates aged under 18 have a different wage scale and could cost £10,000 less per annum. It was also feared that the officers were being placed in unreasonable danger as PCSOs and police have been attacked and stabbed in the past.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23408133-five-police-forces-admit-using-teenage-community-bobbies.do |title=Five police forces admit using teenage community bobbies |work=Thisislondon.co.uk |date=12 August 2007 |access-date=18 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805112307/http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23408133-five-police-forces-admit-using-teenage-community-bobbies.do |archive-date=5 August 2011}}</ref>

===Discrimination incident===

In August 2024, the Thames Valley Police were found to have unlawfully “directly discriminated” against three white officers two years prior by passing them over for a promotion due to higher-ups secretly wanting to only promote someone from a racial minority instead, automatically promoting an underqualified Asian sergeant into the position of Detective-Inspector in order to boost the diversity of its senior staff, without properly considering the said white British officers for the same position.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/superintendent-thames-valley-police-oxfordshire-buckinghamshire-berkshire-b2595166.html | title= White police officers passed over for promotion win race discrimination claim | website= [[Independent.co.uk]] | date= 13 August 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly8n6r6glgo | title=Thames Valley Police officers win race discrimination claim | date=13 August 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/12/white-thames-valley-police-officers-discriminated-against | title=White police officers lost out on job after order to pick Asian candidate | date=12 August 2024 }}</ref>

==Budget cuts==

===Proposed merger===
Proposals made by the [[Home Secretary]] on 20 March 2006 would see the force stay as a single strategic police force for the area, a merger with [[Hampshire Constabulary]] having been rejected.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4825524.stm|title=Police forces 'to be cut to 24'|access-date=5 April 2007|publisher=BBC News| date=20 March 2006}}</ref>

===Budget deficit===
{{update|section|date=February 2021}}
In 2010, it was reported that Thames Valley Police had to make savings of £52{{nbsp}}million over the next four years. Chief Constable Thornton said that they would have to 'cut back on all non-essential activity'. £347{{nbsp}}million of savings were identified including back office cuts and efficiency measures, as well as cutting officers numbers by 10%, meaning 800 officers.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-11887996 | work=BBC News | title=Thames Valley Police 'may cut 10% of workforce' | date=1 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12509433 | work=BBC News | title=Thames Valley Police job losses as force cuts budget | date=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/8865728.__50m_police_cuts_rubber_stamped/ |title=£50m police cuts rubber stamped (From Bucks Free Press) |publisher=Bucksfreepress.co.uk |date=21 February 2011 |access-date=18 May 2013}}</ref>

==In the media==
{{more citations needed|section|date=February 2021}}
The fictional ''[[Inspector Morse]]'', the main character in 13 novels by [[Colin Dexter]] and 33 television episodes by [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], works for Thames Valley Police, but in the spin-off series, ''[[Lewis (TV series)|Lewis]]'', the force is referred to as Oxfordshire Police. The prequel spin-off ''[[Endeavour (TV series)|Endeavour]]'' covers Morse's early years in Oxford City Police and takes its merger into Thames Valley Police as a continuing theme.

In 1982 the BBC broadcast a nine-part series by [[Roger Graef]] and Charles Stewart entitled ''[[Police (TV series)|Police]]'', which showed a [[fly-on-the-wall]] account of Thames Valley's E Division based in [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]]. This featured the rather demeaning treatment of a female victim of rape which was much discussed in the media at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/464502/index.html|title=BFI Screenonline: Police (1982)|access-date=19 January 2009|publisher=Screenonline}}</ref>

In 1987, Thames Valley police were in the news because they failed to stop a gunman from killing 15 members of the public and 1 unarmed Police Officer. The gunman took his own life before being arrested; this came to be known as the [[Hungerford massacre]].

Between 2003 and 2008 a [[Sky1]] programme, ''[[Road Wars (TV series)|Road Wars]]'', followed the Roads Policing Proactive and Problem Solving Team while they carried out their duties. The series followed a select group of officers on duty, who as a result became too well known causing the Chief Constable to ask Sky to move their programme to another force.

More recently, Thames Valley Police has featured in [[Channel 4]]'s ''[[Catching a Killer]]'', which follows Major Crime Team officers as they investigate murders. 

Following the killing of [[Killing of Andrew Harper|Andrew Harper]] in service in 2019, ''The Killing of PC Harper: A Widow's Fight for Justice'' aired in 2022.

==Other activities==

===IT resource merger===
Thames Valley Police and [[Hampshire Police]] authorities have agreed to share ICT support and infrastructure, with all IT workers now employees of Thames Valley Police.

=== Chiltern Transport Consortium ===
Thames Valley Police is the lead force in the Chiltern Transport Consortium (CTC), providing the fleet and maintenance for 6 different police forces. Members include the [[British Transport Police]], [[Civil Nuclear Constabulary]], [[Bedfordshire Police]], [[Hertfordshire Police]] and [[Cambridgeshire Police]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chiltern Transport Consortium Fleet Manager - Thames Valley Police |url=https://thamesvalleypolice.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/appcentre-External/brand-0/candidate/so/pm/6/pl/1/opp/2646-Chiltern-Transport-Consortium-Fleet-Manager/en-GB |access-date=2022-10-06 |website=thamesvalleypolice.tal.net}}</ref> 

===Thames Valley Police Museum===
The Thames Valley Police Museum is located within Sulhamstead House, known locally as the 'White House', at [[Sulhamstead]] in the [[England|English]] county of [[Berkshire]]. The site was formerly the headquarters of the [[Berkshire Constabulary]], and is now the training centre for the Thames Valley Police. The museum is open by appointment and on Wednesdays 12-1pm.

The museum includes displays on the history of Thames Valley Police and the five police forces that were amalgamated to form the force in 1968; the [[Buckinghamshire Constabulary]], the Berkshire Constabulary, [[Oxford City Police]], the [[Oxfordshire Constabulary]] and the [[Reading Borough Police]]. The museum's collections include items from the [[Great train robbery (1963)|Great Train Robbery of 1963]], uniforms, equipment, medals, photographs, scenes of crime evidence, and occurrence and charge books.

In 2006, the exhibition space of the museum was renovated.  Since September 2017, the museum has been temporarily closed prior to relocation.

==Officers killed in the line of duty==
