	Hampshire police run wild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Thames Valley Police have so far adopted a low-key approach to the new legislation, and indeed saboteurs using the same tactics at a Garth and South Berks Hunt meet in the same area two weeks ago had a trouble-free day with no arrests and no trouble on either side.
		It is believed that Thames Valley Police have "loaned" so many officers to Sussex police to deal with the demonstrations against live exports at Shoreham that they are unable to meet their own local policing commitments.
		It is time the police got on with the job of fighting crime, instead of being expected to mess around at the whim of special interest groups such as foxhunts and animal exporters while struggling to cope with the sort of internal markets that have proved so destructive in the NHS.

	Police complaints
		Thames Valley Police and the Police Complaints Authority have collaborated in an initiative which introduces restorative justice principles into the statutory-based police complaints system.
		The main innovation is the organisation of meetings between complainants and police officers in the presence of a trained facilitator.
		The research aims to discover how restorative justice can affect complainant and officer satisfaction with the process, the extent to which the attitudes and behaviour of those involved changes because of the way their case was handled and whether those that have caused harm are made accountable for their actions.

	An Evaluation of the Thames Valley Police Initiative in Restorative Cautioning
		Restorative policing can be a range of tactics and strategies, whose end result, when done right, is that offending behaviour is prevented or curtailed, conflict between communities is reduced and victims are given back their own confidence and sense of well-being.
		Policing needs to be evidence led using what works rather than dogmatic or ideological ideas based on gut feelings, if we are to meet the policing challenges of the 21st century.
		Policing which is entirely process driven - pursuant of targets, without a more holistic approach to crime, can lead to a vicious circle and alienation of the police from the wider community.

		Thames Valley Police have done a good job on this investigation - catching the perpetrators promptly and following things up in a timely manner.
		Also, their website is kept up-to-date with the information, unlike many police websites which are just full of politically correct propaganda about "community relations", "ethnic monitoring" and "diversity awareness" initiatives.
		It is a pity not all police forces are quite so adept - like the misguided West Yorkshire Police and the Greater Manchester Police, with their multiculturalist politically correct Chief Constables Crampton and Todd respectively.

	busted - Thames Valley police get heavy handed
		Usually this involves one or two police cars blocking the entrance to the party, until they get too bored or too cold or get called away to attend to other matters, and then just showing up to see that the party is winding down without trouble late Sunday morning.
		The police then eventually left - having failed to stop the party - and there was no sign of Babylon presence after about 5am - until they showed up again later in the morning.
		Despite the police intimidation and violence (or perhaps, because of it?) this was a real banging party that had the dancefloor full until they switched the music off late Sunday afternoon, with everyone determined to make the best of it - and continue in defiance.
