1. IntroductionWelcome to my 2017-18 Annual Report as Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley (PCC). This 2017-18 report provides an update on overall progress against delivery of my new four year strategic Police and Crime Plan for the period 2017-2021. My new Plan was informed by a broad range of information that is reflected in five key priority areas:

• Vulnerability

• Prevention and early intervention

• Reducingre-offending• Serious organised crime and terrorism

• Police judgment and reform

By law, I am required to secure and maintain anefficientandeffectivepoliceserviceforthe Thames Valley. In 2017/18 Her Majesty’s InspectorateofConstabularyandFire&RescueServices(HMICFRS)conductedtheir‘policeefficiency,effectivenessandlegitimacy’(PEEL)inspectionsforallpoliceforces.HMICFRSgradedThamesValleyPolice(TVP)as‘Outstanding’intermsofefficiency,“Good”foreffectivenessand‘Good’forlegitimacy.ThamesValley’sHMICFRSPEELReportshavebeenthebestforanypoliceforceexceptDurham,aforce that in relative terms is substantially better funded than TVP.

DespitethebudgetarychallengesfacedbyTVP,acurrentshortfallofofficersandtheincreasingcomplexityofcrime,IandTVParecommittedtoprovidingaresponsiveemergencyservicethatkeepspeoplesafeandbringsoffenders to justice.

DuringtheyearTVPhashadtoretainitshighlevelofperformancewhilemakingsubstantialannual savings of over £10m, and do this at a time of ever increasing demand for the services

I believe there aresubstantialoperationalandefficiency savings to be made by combining them into one service, and bringing them into the TVP management system.

We will continue to work closely together to exploreanddevelopmorecollaborationoptions,particularlybetweenthefireandrescueservicesand Thames Valley Police.

5. Looking ahead to 2018/19 The changing face of crime means we will continue to see an unprecedented increase in demand in some of the most complex and challenging areas of policing.

Risingreportsandcasesofhiddencrimessuch as domestic abuse, child abuse, modern slavery,sexualoffences,seriousviolenceandexploitationhaveallincreasedthepressureonlimitedpoliceresources.

In addition to the rise in crimes against the vulnerable, we have seen an unwelcomed increase in the more traditional crimes of burglary and violence, as well as the increased threat from terrorism, fraud and cyber-crime. Iampleasedtonotethatburglaryratesarenowgoingdowninmanyofourpoliceareas.Theriseincrimeandexpectationsfromourcommunitieshaveledtoanunprecedentedincreaseincallvolumes,with999callsincreasingover21%over the last 2 years.

Inordertorespondeffectivelytotheincreasingand changing demands within our constrained financialposition,wemustcontinuetoreformservices and ensure resources are focused on priorityareas.Theuseofnewtechnologies willbeamajorfactorherebyimproving potentialefficienciesandimprovementsinpolicingperformance.

TheChiefConstableandIarecommittedtocontinuousimprovementanddevelopmentinthepolicingoftheThamesValley,andwillusefeedbackwehavereceivedfromthepublicandpartnerstodevelopourservices.2018will see the launch of a number of initiatives designedtofurtherenhancepoliceeffectivenessandefficiency,andhelpensurethatwearemakingthebestuseofourfiniteresources,whilstdealingwitharapidlychangingpolicinglandscape.TheForce’s‘ContactManagementPlatform’ICTsystemwillbegoingliveinthesummerof2018,andisaprimeexampleofhownewchangingtechnologicaldevelopmentwillimprovethewaythatthepublicmakecontactwith Thames Valley Police.

Through our ongoing commitment to the Victims Code,myofficeiswellpositionedtorespondtochangesarisingfromtheGovernment’sforthcoming domestic abuse bill. In late-March 2018wesawtheopeningofour‘VictimsFirstHub’ - a new dedicated service for victims of crime,co-locatedwiththeForce’sWitnessCareUnit(basedattheBerkshireFireandRescueServiceHQinReading)-setuptoensurevictimsandwitnessesreceivethesupporttheyneedtocopeandrecoverfromtheimpactofcrime.Wecareaboutthoseaffectedbycrimeandwillworkcontinuouslytoimprovethe services available for victims, as well as theirexperienceofthecriminaljusticesystem.

Finally,Iamdelightedthatcustodianhelmetshave returned to the streets of Thames Valley. I have felt very strongly for a number of years that officerspatrollingthestreetsofThamesValleyneedtohavegreaterprominence.

The custodian helmet is an iconic symbol of BritishpolicingandIbelievethatwearingitnotonlyincreasestheirprofileinthecommunity,butalsomakesofficersmoreapproachableandprovidesgreaterreassurancetothepublic.

Overthatperiodwewillcontinuetoworkhardonimprovingpolicingandkeepingourcommunities safe.
