Thames Valley Community Messaging

The Thames Valley Community Messaging Service - helping to reduce crime in your neighbourhood!

Do you want to receive crime alerts specific to your neighbourhood from the police?

Residents in West Oxfordshire can sign up to community messaging for free; you choose to receive the information via email or telephone.

Traditionally the system was used for distributing neighbourhood watch messages and it still supports these schemes, so if you are interested in joining any of the watch schemes below then further information is available on the Community Messaging website.

WATCH SCHEMES YOU CAN JOIN
Neighbourhood
Country / Horse
School
Business

WHAT IS INVOLVED
Each neighbourhood watch scheme has a co-ordinator who distributes the information to their neighbours. However, with the new online system any members can receive messages directly, therefore reducing the workload for the co-ordinator.

Schemes can be as small as a collection of houses or as large as a street, village or parish.
