Thames Valley Police’s response to complaints of antisocial behaviour has improved since last year, statistics revealed.

More than nine out of 10 of the 200 people surveyed by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in the region said they were happy that the police had listened to what they had to say.

Just over half said their call to police had made a difference to the problems they were experiencing.

In Thames Valley 86 per cent of people surveyed agreed that they were satisfied with the police response, higher than the national average of 80 per cent. And most – 63 per cent – said they were happy with the information they were given after contacting Thames Valley Police, although the national average was slightly higher at 66 per cent.
