Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber set out his vision on Monday.
A return to neighbourhood policing and cleaning up the image of the force are two of the priorities of a recently re-elected police and crime commissioner.
As part of Mr Barber's plans, Thames Valley Police will attempt to recruit more police officers, with a focus on tackling crimes that "matter most to the public"."It isn't just about pleasing people by having bobbies on the street while we should be dealing with serious crime, it's about being proactive in preventing serious crimes taking place," he said.
"For simple possession offences we are seeing criminals being arrested, being charged and remanded overnight and they're in front of the magistrates the next day - that makes a big difference." Asked about confidence in policing following a string of high profile incidents nationwide, Mr Barber circled back to his neighbourhood policing policies.
