Thames Valley Police Reviews 

The best words I can list describing Thames Valley Police from my own personal encounters with them is; Discrimination, Abuse, Vandalism, Favouritism, Racism, Torture Techniques, Provocation, Exploitation, Injustice, Trespass, Procrastination, etc.
You name it it’s all there, and the list goes on and on.
I have already made an official complaint to the IOPC and the IPCC.
Just waiting patiently to see how the results and outcome of fair justice is going to be. And I will be updating this post accordingly.
By the way I am a Brown Muslim Middle aged man originally from Africans Arabian Country. This is my ethnic background.

Absolutely shocking.

Showed no interest in my mental heath abuse claims. Ended up with numerous suicide attempts. these clowns didnt give a damn and ended nearly killing me

Happy to share full story that shows really how bad tvp are

Happy to share complaint info where you see thesr glowns get together to cover thier arses.

Very unhelpful and unsupportive. Basically, said their time was too precious to waste on my case and spending time on it has already wasted money. Accussed me of lying despite having brought the case to their attention, implying I was guilty until proven innocent. Not sure that their budget cuts should mean that they do not investigate crime. No wonder trust in the police is low.

Just been assaulted whilst out on a bike ride, called 999 in fear that it was going to get worse, the advice given by the the police lady on the phone was to run away, a year ago I would have been tazered for not having a mask on in Tesco's, this is why the public have zero respect for the police service in this country

Think carefully about reporting historic sexual and violent crimes to TVP despite what they say to the public at large!!!!

After years and years of fear and anxiety, I finally got up the courage to call Thames Valley police to report historic rape, sexual and violent assaults that had been committed against me as a child growing up.

I asked to speak with the dept who dealt with such crimes, so as they could explain to me the procedure to ABE, the environment, whether it was recorded etc etc.

I expected that someone would be only to happy to explain procedure BUT NO!!

Instead of transferring me, the operator kept putting me on hold and then coming back to me to ask when I cud come in. She simply would not put to a specialist officer in the appropriate dept.

I did not want to be ping pinged backward and forward discussing the matter with a blasted control room opetator!!!

It was so hard to ring and then to be met with such nonsense, was soul destroying.

I came off the phone and just sobbed. 😭😭😭😭

I felt they where so insensitive and felt they where quite dismissive of what I wanted and NEEDED to know before I took the step to make an appointment for statement to be taken.

Just cruel, maybe un intended by the individual but never the less cruel.

Reading.

We have just spent an hour trying to contact 101 to inform the police of a potentially really dangerous abandoned car at the exit of the eynsham road turning into the a420. Literally nothing. Not a sausage. It is impossible to get through. People simply won't report thing to the police with a service like this. Otherwise I have a huge amount of respect for TV police. But this is hopeless.

Could not have had a worse experience - in brief summary;
A property developer next to my house removed a 12m section of my hedge which was just over 2 metres high, set fire to it and then used my land to provide access to work on their development
I phoned the Police, the builder admitted to removing and destroying the Police, TVP would not even speak to the builder because the builder claimed it was an accident
About 1.5 years later and a lot of letters and 2 complaints later and I've managed to get TVP to interview the builder who claims that it was an accident. He removed it with a digger and burnt it. TVP refuse to take any action against him. There was so much incompetence throughout, but I've tried to summarise this to keep it as brief as possible.

Called Thames Valley Police to report a dangerous dog. Basically sat on hold for 20 minutes to no avail.

Story.........Took my 1yr old puppy out for his daily run but was harassed by a bigger dog - Alsation - from the go. For around 5-10mins the Alsation was chasing after my dog and trying to bite him which was frightening him. Then it tried to bite a lump out of my dogs back. I confronted the owner and said you have a dangerous dog which should be muzzled and you should be re-calling your dog and not ignoring it whilst chin-wagging with another lady. She went on and on denying her dogs behaviour though she wasn't paying any attention to it throughout my dogs ordeal. After i listened to her i told her if she didn't stop lying and denying her dogs aggressive behaviour i would report her. She went on denying so i down her number plate details and said i would report the dog, her and the incident to the police.

Phone call to TVPolice......AS from the first paragraph i called 101 and waited nearly 20mins on the phone to be told that if both dogs are off the lead they can't be bothered with dealing with it though i explained what had happened and we were walking 100yrds away from the two owners and their dogs. I said to the Policeman on the other end of the line so it's ok for a dangerous dog to keep chasing your puppy and trying to bite lumps out of him, in that case if it happens again i will kick the other animal in question. I also made it known that there was a children's park across the car park from the incident. These so-called-police wonder why and where the phrase came from "TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS". You try and report a dangerous dog and that's the rubbish you are fed on the other end of a phone line from a policeman. No wonder this country is going down the pan with people like that NOT protecting the public. You follow the law and report an incident and they can't be bothered but give you some lame civil excuse.

Well Mr. Policeman, when that dog tears another one to shreds or even a kid i hope you sleep well at night.
