We live in a world of mass communication, being fed information which is usually neither relevant to us nor wanted. With Thames Valley Alerts this couldn’t be further from the truth. Thames Valley Police not only promote a flow of localised information between the police and community; we actively encourage it.

That is why we want to build our Alerts system into something which is not only an integral part of living in the Thames Valley area but a functioning tool to keep our communities safe and informed. We are constantly trying to enhance and develop the messages we send to you.

With 62,000 members currently subscribed to our service we know there are more people who could benefit from receiving Thames Valley Alerts. Are your neighbours and friends signed up? Would a relative benefit from signing up?

Every member of our community will gain from the knowledge that our Alerts system provides. If you are one of the 2.2% of Thames Valley’s population who is already signed up please help spread the word and remember this service is available to everyone.
