Disgusting outfit of narcissistic…

Disgusting outfit of narcissistic parasites that use coercion, threats and outright lies about procedures to railroad good and responsible dog owners into killing innocent dogs! Weaponiseing fear through threats of prosecution and social services! Extortion and blackmail are illegal yet these cretins think nothing of using such tactics repeatedly! You're an absolute disgrace the lot of you! You can tick all the inclusivity boxes you like with your new PC but you can't polish the poop that Thames Valley Police are, or any other force for that matter! We are coming for you LEGALLY and we are coming for you PROFESSIONALLY also! Corrupt lying manipulators!

If nil is possible I would rate them as this.
I reported the growing of cannabis in a residential location and the theft of electricity, they did nothing, couldn't even be bothered - why are we paying for a police service that is no existent and incompetent?

Protect and serve my ass!

Like anything government related, utter useless. No longer do the police protect and serve, unless it's themselves! I've seen more intelligence in a single ant, than the complete police force put together. Seems that you can get away with attempted murder, literally, as that's what my neighbour did! Tried to stab me! Even with the cuts I incurred, the knife he had on him when arrested and the fact he was arrested only days later carrying another knife, he is still free, living next door to me! I've since reported him for hiding knifes around outside areas, including video footage and the police offered him "words of advice!" What a joke our so called police force have become! This guy also records adults and children with hidden cameras in outside private areas, again I've provided evidence of this, but nothing!
Crime isn't unlawful anymore!

Very corrupt 😒 intentionally alter the speed camera tollerance between junction 13 and 14 m1 northbound to trap people for speeding. Why do I know that? We decide to do a test with an anonymous driver going South bound M1 through all the cameras at the same speed and none of them flashed.🤔 Outrageous what they are doing to scam people people money when the country is technically in a recession.

Protecting and serving is a term but deliberately tampering to scam is criminal offence so why all these that are involved not jailed including the guy that calibrate the camera and the company should be banded indefinitely from manufacturing or participating in any form of speed enforcement activity for all lifetime all the engineers that were involved should be banned from the industry includes working or voluntary participating in the manufacturing or testing of any camera equipment for the rest of their lives. Am pretty sure many of you been scammed with this latest scheme to raise 💰.

I never knew that the police force was a business to make profit and raise revenue! So why are they funded by the public tax money then if that's the case they should be a registered business of some sort since they that is how it is!
That kind of act is not cool and points to corruption and cannot be trusted to fabricate offence to make claims under false pretence that does not look good at all one bit. I know many of you who work there might feel offended but that is the truth.

The justice system is based off truth so if your not based on truth as a character you should not be in the police force full stop. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and discussion of their findings so if there is a discovery people should know about it also. Before you employ bias people to become police officers they should watch these people for years to evaluate the type of persons they are before the can even be considered as candidates who could be included in the police force or to work with the police even. I think the camera calibrator is responsible for he done it but the police who suppose to oversight the process being done he is involved aswell or clearly getting paid to just sign paperwork and not doing their jobs as they should.

I'm in legal trouble because somebody here isn't doing their job

So, I got a speeding ticket. I recieved a letter from TVP offering me a speed awareness course. I send this back to them requesting the course. Heard nothing back for a month until I recieved a letter saying i must pay the fine and recieve the points instead.

I spent about 4 hours trying to contact somebody from this station about this, but i was sent in circles to people who kept sending me to anywhere but these guys. After this I paid the fine because I was just exhausted by this point.

WELL, a month later I recieve a letter form them saying that they're taking me to court for not paying the fine, despite having done so a month before.

So, now i'm waiting to hear on the decision of my not guilty plea because somebody here can't be bothered to check through the post.

How absolutely abhorrant. Where the hell is our tax money going if they're not doing the very basics of work. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE THE STATION FOR THIS ONE!

But anyways, m,ay as well ignore these people because they're only going to stress you out by NOT DOING A SIMPLE JOB LIKE OPENING AN ENVOLOPE!

Honestly, I want compensation. I used to believe in the police. My dad was a police officer. The force is simply a joke now. Picking on hard working citizens like myself over a simple mistake from a roadworks, instead of stopping actual crime because they're too scared to be branded racist or sued. Grow the hell up and start doing your damn job. Because letting kids run around with f***ing machettes isn't a crime, right? What about all these shoplifters? No? Harrasing me is more important, right

No wonder people have no confidence in the police. Maybe do your job instead?

No wonder Wycombe is a crime-ridden ghetto.

Was the victim of a hit and run on my car. Didn't get a number plate but it was near some CCTV. Form on Website didn't work, so had to go down the station. Was made to feel stupid / at fault for not getting the criminal's number plate and doubt they will even bother to investigate.

hopefully this is not a prob;em over the entire uk but sadly new tells us diffrence

Absoloutly have no idea how to handle a person with PTSD or Social Anxiety when a woman as told you repeatly that she has a problem with any possible physical contact with men especially those from Thames Valley Police why would you send out 3 male Police Officers when you knew I would need a Female Present. Also I was charged with Harrassment for a Cremation Invoice that probaly doesnt exist and yet when I reported my Sister for Beneficary Theft which was advice given me to a Solictor you told me its still CIVAL lets hope that the Investigation into the Mail Redirection Investigation actually has a better out come because if it doesn't then it just goes to show that the Police will not Investigate anything that actually is Criminal you just allow people that have commited the real Crime ro walk free I for one will never report a Crime to Police because I have a 35 year history that tells me that everytime I have been the victim you couldnt give a Damn if it won't end with Someone being charged for example the 3 people who stole My Late Mothers Money came to home on the 31st October 2022 to force me to sign papers given them access to an account which was a joint account you chose not to PROSCUTE BECAUSE WHEN I SHOWED YOU THE RINGBELL EVIDENCE I LAUGHED SO OBVIOUSLY I WASNT TRAUMATISED BUT WHEN I ASKED MY SISTER FOR A INVOICE THAT IS ACTUALLY ON A LEGAL DOCUMENT SHE CHOSE TO HAVE THE POLICE HARRASS ME INSTEADOF JUST IGNORING THE EMAIL. So 2 of the people involved had me arressted for Harrassment one failed but what was laughable about that case was that she used a Cease and Desist Letter but she never used it when I wen to her house in February 2023 but that was probaly because her husband tried to attack me I did report this but need to drop it because I was reminded via a 3rd party that snitches get stitches

several dogs howling and barking at an address for over 3 hours from 21-30 hrs continually untill well past 23-20 hrs in an area where thers mainly old people and people who are exremely ill with ailments like termonal cancer and several recieving pallative care. TVP refuse to help and just say contact the RSPCA and LOCAL COUNCIL , who like TVP are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard in front of a raging fire.If I could have given minus stars then they would have got them. No wonder that people do not respect them when they refuse to do anything. Local MP will be contacted and told how useless the police actually are.

Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking! reported a theft 4 weeks ago, complete with video footage and was able to identify the culprit for TVP - They have still not even allocated an investigating officer or even agreed they would investigate. They are now suggesting that a private prosecution might be more timely. Really? what are they paid for other than parking at the side of the road and eating Kebabs

Kind understanding officers in my hours of traumatic stress and relapses since leaving hospital. Just when I had lost faith in the police.
CMK office has an efficient service and allowed me chance to breathe before speaking to the right people.
PC Hoyland is especially kind.
It doesn't feel like a prison, everyone is kind and considerate officers with vulnerable adults.
I sincerely thank you for your time.

Is this a service for the citizens or against them?

They quickly dismissed my call and didn't listen to me. I believe the officer showed signs of impatience when he realised my accent wasn't from the place (his voice went from very professional to blowing air in the microphone). I previously filled a report and they never answered. This is my second experience with them and I have to say, deeply disappointing

Update: Lexi from professional standards listen to me and logged the complaint. She also communicated this forward to the involved department. Thanks!

Just got nowhere after all

Further to 15/5/23 review of 11/5/23 experience on S4 bus Banbury to Oxford several days later a phone call from Thames Valley Police (TVP): say they are now going to contact the bus company - Stagecoach - to obtain CCTV, attempt to identify the lowlife. Another phone call from TVP 29/5/23 saying Stagecoach told them CCTV wasn't working or wasn't switched on. All the claptrap on Stagecoach buses: "CCTV is there for your safety and security."
On another Stagecoach bus unfortunately I left a bag
containing important documents, requested Stagecoach to check CCTV to help identify who removed item from bus - they didn't bother.

A bit of humanity goes a long way

Today I had the misfortune to break down on my journey home to Mansfield, travelling by motorbike from Poole. Whilst the RAC couldn't seem to care less whether I got home or not - reported 15:30 and still being relayed home and waiting for the next recovery vehicle at 04:15 just 20 miles up the road - a patrol vehicle stopped, loaned me a phone, charged mine, liaised with the RAC, talked to me amiably and gave me a tuna sandwich. This touched and impressed me, I'm just sorry I didn't get the names of the officers

Thames Valley Police Force

Thames Valley police, Aylesbury are a very incompent Police force. They fabrict evidence, very arrogant, pressure witness for statements, have no respect to follow proper procedures. They have accused on 18-24 months on remand, before cases, if they reach the courts. inexperience young police officers Police, who have not been properly trained to deal with the public. Thames Valley Police force is particularly racist towards people of ethnic minority, pakistani, african carribean.

Think that a lot of officer's are young and have not experienced a broad spectrum of life. In this day and age people are not permitted to express there full range of emotions with out being trampled on by the police. I find the police culture toxic, don't forget the SS soldiers who did such terrible things in Poland in W11 were mostly recruited from the existing police force. UK Police are very seldom considered to be part of the community, as with the SS, they are mostly feared by the community, and close to being pert of the modern day Nazi culture.
