Today I was delighted to attend the Thames Valley Police Student Officer Confirmation Ceremony held at Drayton Golf Club, nr. Abingdon. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet with the families who support our new police constables as they have completed all their training and learning development. It was my pleasure to do the closing remarks at the ceremony on behalf of the Police Authority of which I am an elected member for Oxfordshire.
After the certificates were all handed out, there was a 'Best Endeavour' Award and a student officer speech which gave us all an an insight into the hard work that has gone into this two year rigorous learning programme. We then had tea and cakes and I enjoyed meeting and talking to many of the student officers themselves.

We are very fortunate in the Thames Valley to have such an excellent police force. It was reported in the press a couple of weeks ago how crime is falling in the Vale of White Horse area and much of this is due to the hard work of our neighbourhood teams.
