Matthew Barber has been re-elected as Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley.
The Conservative candidate received 144,092 votes from across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
Labour's Tim Starkey came second with 141,749 votes.
Speaking following the declaration of the results, Matthew said: “I am delighted to have been re-elected as the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Thames Valley.
“Over the past three years, I have worked with the brilliant officers and staff at Thames Valley Police to deliver tangible outcomes our communities can be proud of – a record number of police officers with the number in neighbourhood roles doubled, burglary rates below pre-pandemic levels, knife crime down 13% thanks, in part, to Operation Deter and a zero-tolerance approach to knife possession, the creation of a dedicated Rural Crime Taskforce and the launch of strategy to combat retail crime.
“But I know there is more to do. I campaigned on a platform of continuing to expand neighbourhood policing, protecting communities, people and property. I look forward to taking this plan forward and making Thames Valley a safer place for us all.”
