Six people have been arrested as part of a police day of action focused on tackling domestic abuse and supporting victims across Buckinghamshire. 

Thames Valley Police carried out the day of action on Wednesday, September 2, focusing on protecting vulnerable people, reducing harm, and holding offenders accountable.

Officers carried out a number of arrest attempts as part of the operation, resulting in six people being arrested.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "Five of those arrested have been released on conditional bail whilst enquires continue to protect the victims, as well as progressing twelve domestic abuse investigations by evidential reviews and outstanding enquiries."

The operation also gave officers the opportunity to gather intelligence, supporting ongoing investigations and future proactive work.

The force said that victim support was a key focus throughout the day, with officers providing reassurance, case updates, and help accessing specialist services.

Inspector Michelle Tate of the Buckinghamshire Command Unit said: "This day of action provided an important opportunity to take positive action against those suspected of committing domestic abuse offences, progress investigations and continue our work to protect those most at risk.

"Domestic abuse can have a devastating impact on victims, families and communities, which is why identifying offenders, pursuing lines of enquiry and bringing perpetrators to justice remains a priority for Thames Valley Police.

"By combining enforcement, prevention and partnership working, we can better protect vulnerable people and reduce the harm caused by domestic abuse," she added.

At Friars Square Shopping Centre, neighbourhood officers and the Harm Reduction Unit hosted a community engagement stand to raise awareness of domestic abuse and the support available.

Detective Chief Inspector of the Harm Reduction Unit Rachel Wheaton said: "Domestic abuse can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender or background, and we recognise that many victims may not feel ready or able to come forward immediately.

"Days of action like this are an important opportunity for us to identify and safeguard those at risk, engage with our communities and ensure victims are aware of the support available to them when they need it most.

"At the same time, we remain committed to the relentless pursuit of those who cause harm.

"By working closely with colleagues across Thames Valley Police and our partner agencies, we can progress investigations, develop intelligence, target offenders and take positive action against perpetrators.

"Every arrest, safeguarding intervention and community conversation has the potential to make a lasting difference, helping to protect victims, prevent further harm and bring offenders to justice."

Anyone experiencing domestic abuse, or concerned about someone else, can report it to Thames Valley Police by calling 101 or online.

Police said in an emergency, always call 999.

Support is also available through local domestic abuse services and national organisations including the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.
