At first really great.

A complaint was faulsly layed against me and when I spoke with them they seemed to realise the "woman" (stupid little girl) was clearly unstable with her accusation, the screen shots of the foul language and words of abuse proof I provided proved this.
However it took them over 6 months to get back to me and follow through with their promise to get my property back from her.
When the situation escalated with her threat of going to them, I called them and informed that the cops may be around to talk (not wanting her kid to scared or anything), I suggested she also take the item in question to the cops untampered and damaged as evidence which I was told she did.

I then informed the cops not to give the item back as it did not belong to her, they gave it back to her anyway.

They gave no updates, no information, did not return property back to the rightful person.

When I was updated the cop called me at my work and accused me approaching the GIRL (real woman don't act like this) in the supermarket, which I didn't, I wad at work.
I tried telling cop Hanz that I didn't and couldn't have (lead alone twice) as I was still at work during the time. My friend had done it but I was basically expected to control other people's actions while I'm not around them.

You know who you are and just know that your senseless accusation has not held me back in the slightest.
Not having a narcissistic and toxic friend has done me a world of good.
I should have ended things the day a threat against me with gang members.
Oh well, we live and we learn, and I learned that people that make blind and emotional accusations are not the ones we need in our life.

A station which is not open at the advertised times. No way of gaining access. A tel without instructions on it which only goes to the main switchboard anyway. Anyone would think you did not wish to be contacted!

BE VERY CAREFUL

I would give 0 star if I could.
As a former employee, I regret to express my negative experience with TVP. My time there was a year and a half and I believe it was the worst I have ever worked in. The management, particularly, was extremely unprofessional. His behaviour was characterised by racist and discrimination. The team leader was also the worst I have come across in my working life. The team was poorly managed and I endured significant bullying and discrimination. I was particularly affected by the manager’s insensitive comments following the loss of my child. If you are considering working with TVP, I would advise caution as your mental well-being could be significantly impacted.

To the Manager and Team Leader, I hope you take this to heart. Your conduct is a disgrace to the police force and you should be ashamed. You do not embody the values of the organisation and your actions are deeply troubling.

Just read the reviews and trust pilot and Glass Door. No need to say anymore.

Update to the response.
The response is exactly the reason why nothing changes and more and more people leave negative reviews, because you fail to take accountability for your wrong doings.
I am not the type to spend time leaving reviews etc but I had to make an exception for this place.

Law Breakers

Where do I start? I reported 3 crimes, one was a s*xual crime against me, I was told I was stupid and 'let it happen' I was threatened and accosted and the tv police told me there was nothing they could do. Then worst of all I was falsely arrested twice, never questioned about anything, never allowed a solicitor and was not cautioned. They sat me in a cell for many hours before just releasing me. I was harmed, bruised and given no water nor food. The Thames Valley police act criminally and against the law

Very poor experience on contacting Thames Valley Police about a verbal assault. Despite the fact that they reminded me that by British law I could report the incident, they did nothing to assist me in doing so. Extremely disappointing.

Thames Valley Police and Victim First…

Thames Valley Police and Victim First are a total joke and scam.

After the attack a year ago, doing their investigation myself and providing all the info to arrest the criminals, they have done nothing, give excuses and not bother at all.

They passed the case from one to another and they leave the criminals get away even though they know who they are.

Everyone should report them to the IOPC and my complaint is on the way.

If there was a zero or a minus five I would give that.there is not a second word after useless that describes them without swearing.they are lower than the drug dealing,thieving ,corrupt,lowlife that are on our streets,some foreign and some English.you get burgled with crystal clear cctv footage and witnesses and nothing happens,they are more interested in fake lying stories that breaks up a family home at 10 pm at night when the children have just been back to school for the first day!! Over the top police attendance and totally inconsiderate and lack of respect for everyone,guess they can’t solve real crimes as the people who are guilty are their grasses and all gets swept under the table! They also pick on motorists,easy target,spending us tax payers money sat in speed camera vans and pulling over innocent people instead of the known drug dealers in cars and runners on stupid electric bikes.Thames valley police still owe me compensation personally,they are a law of their own.it is beyond a joke,as said previously you are better off taking the law into your own hands!!

Criminals in blue.

Corrupt scum just like everyone else around here. Bring in the army - they couldnt be corrupt as well - could they? Or maybe theyre lazy or just dont give a s..t or all of the above, but Thames Valley Police are a waste of time. I would suggest taking matters into your own hands but you will find they are suprisingly fast and efficient when it comes to punishng the innocent. These people are no different than those you are told to call the police 'on', and so call them - and you stand to double your trouble. Why do we keep them? and it's worse than there being no police at all because at least then one could deal with things in their own way without being arrested for it.
To protect and to serve - the criminals.

This organisation perverts the course…

This organisation perverts the course of justice, aided and abetted by the totally corrupt Professional Standards Department Thames Valley Police Headquarters, Oxford Road, Kidlington OX5 2NX. This is a cesspit of liars.100% corrupt.
Dates of criminal offence 20.12.2024. Date of lies 29.05.2025. I will never trust a police officer. I have reported the liars to the IOPC, my transaction/id number is 3497898. Take note liar PS 7368 Stuart Mc Master who has knowingly perverted the course of justice to protect a gang of evil and corrupt police bullies who are PS 7526 Finch Abingdon Police Station PC 856 Maddock, PC 8576 Grace Wiseman. They lied to protect someone who stalked me involving fear of violence on 27.11.2024 and 16.07.2024. This evil stalker is Daniel Solis Manager Nationwide Building Society 44 Queen Street Oxford OX1 1ET. They also lied to protect 2 horrible thieves who have stolen about £300,000 from me and my family. The evil thieves are Mark and Rachel Gibson 16 Bannister Close Oxford OX4v 15H. On 03.02.2024 I waited outside the £2 million pound mansion of the evil thieves (they had ignored all the letters I had sent in the post to the 2 thieves asking the 2 thieves to return my stolen property) and when they returned from possibly a party or a lavish meal out, and asked the horrible thieves to return my stolen property, they were verbally and physically abusive, especially Rachel Gibson
THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE ARE NOW BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE IOPC MANCHESTER, PO BOX 473 SALE MANCHESTER M33 0BW

The worst police force in the country

The worst police force in the country. Lazy and ineffective. They do not do their due diligence or investigate Properly and instead end up arresting innocent people for crimes they could not possibly have commited just to pretend they are a police force. I bet they spend more time persueing "hate" crimes on social media than real crimes.

If I could give minus stars I would

If I could give minus stars I would:
TVP have shown me nothing other than discrimination, corruption, spreading of false information, wrongful arrests and the list goes on: this police force has continued to ignore domestic abuse reports, burglaries and drug dealers. I have been subjected to the worst kind of harassment and abuse by the police officers and I’m not talking about one or two- 90% of them are all Guinea pigs for the bigger bosses. They ignore any concerns raised and do not take ANY complaints seriously even with evidence in front of them: I am sickened by this police force and would like them to take action to prevent corruption with gangs and weapons

PC Nicholas GENT based in Amersham…

PC Nicholas GENT based in Amersham police station is one of the most corrupt so called police officer I have ever encountered and I have encountered a many. After giving misleading statements to courts and thinking he is a qualified healthcare professional physically abused and provided bogus claims to stop my vehicle with no evidence to back up his bogus claims. After infringing on my rights and refusing legal advice GENT arrested me with handcuffs tied behind my back in a very painful tight hold even though I was no threat nor have any history of being a threat to police. GENT did not allow a seatbealt whilst I was imprisoned in the back of his vehicle I complained of a history of severe back pains but fell on deaf ears. I pleaded to loosen the handcuffs which he refused as I was not going anywhere whilst imprisoned in the back of his car. GENT drove me from highwycombe to Reading whilst i was in painful position with no seatbelt and very tight painful handcuffs. GENT's racial profiling and unlawful behaviour and assault caused me physical harm aswell as harming my mental health as I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. GENT refused me access to medication. GENT tried to facilitate a miscarriage of justice on many occasions. GENT has made misleading statements resulting in a court summons which he sent to a different address which I have never resided causing a warrant to be issued for my arrest. A complete tyrant very unprofessional and discriminatory. His actions and assaults have lasting deteimental effect on my physical and mental wellbeing. I am awaiting bodycam footage so I can upload on YouTube and take the case further but have yet to recieve despite requesting over 2 months ago. GENT did not study my driving to back up his claims I pulled over as soon as he put on his sirens and got out of my vehicle to approach him which is when he tried every tactic to try incriminate me with false claims with no grounds. I hope he one day gets treated the same. This racist dishonest corrupt tyrant of a officer in my belief is a danger to the public especially minorities and should not hold this position of power which he abuses.

PC5114 Robinson and PC1013 Price Thank you

On Saturday 1st March my son was involved in a road traffic accident. Initially TVP said they would not send anyone as no one was injured no 3rd party and no obstruction which is fair. However his vehicle was insecure with all his work tools which need to be recovered PC5114 Robinson and PC1013 Price attended the scene whist we were recovering the tools. They were both very professional and empathetic of our situation. They did everything they could to ensure our safety and the safety of my sons work tools on a dark fast road B488 near Slapton. I personally have not had many encounters with the Police but the conduct of these officers is a absolute credit to TVP. It was a traumatic situation for my son and their people skills and empathetic approach was spot on and gratefully received. Thank you both.

I admire the police

I admire the police, I was taught to trust the police, I do trust the police.
I found a wallet with credit cards in a car park in Windsor, and I wanted to ensure it went back to the owner.
Crikey, trying to find a police person was impossible. with Windsor station closed, and the Castle having Met police, but none from Thames Valley.
I eventually went to Slough police station, where a surly girl TOLD me to wait, eventually returned and snarled at me.
I'm law abiding, respectful, and did the right thing, but for Gods sake, can someone train face to face staff so they look and act in a friendly manner???
I will do it FREE OF CHARGE if you want me to?????

Waste of tax payers money police do…

Waste of tax payers money police do nothing don’t even answer emergency calls. No wonder the criminals are out and about enjoying crime sprees. I am refusing to pay my tax and will do everything in my power to avoid paying tax because these shit services don’t deserve my hard earned cash. Twice I have been targeted by criminals smashing my vehicle. I tried to report that a drunk driver high on substances was driving around smashing into vehicles the police said make a on line report, that means the criminal probably going to knock someone over kill them and damage more public property. I know it’s too cold to come out to investigate but hey you get paid!!! Slough police are criminals robbing tax payers money.

Absolute joke

Was assaulted in a park by a man, phoned the police and was told there was an officer on route. Once the officer arrived he was rude and inconsiderate. Located the man that assaulted me, phoned me back and said its a case of he said she said, asked if I would attend court for a day to waste everyone's time and abruptly hung up the phone. This isn't the first occasion I've had an issue with them. They are all ignorant rude and lazy. Don't want to deal with real crime at hand and would rather be paid off like the corrupt society we live in. Makes you sick how you can't rely on police anymore, what's the point in paying your tax if all they want to do is brush crime off.
