Providing a second to none policing service
Leicestershire Constabulary is committed to providing an excellent service in all that we do. We desire to have a national reputation that is second to none.
We fully acknowledge our influence as a positive force for good within communities and our ability to build community cohesion, provide reassurance and tackle criminality.
We welcome the increased accountability and scrutiny applied to policing and will use this as a way of constantly improving our performance.
The challenge is hard with increasing global, national and local demand, but it is one that we seek to meet to the best of our ability within limited resources.
Leicestershire Constabulary strives to be
- innovative and creative, using every opportunity to improve the quality of life for the residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
- self-critical, unafraid to challenge the status quo and flexible enough to change our work practices wherever necessary.
- accessible and open, listening and developing greater knowledge and understanding of our responsibilities and potential.
- wise custodians of public money, ensuring that our resources are positioned where people can gain maximum benefit from their investment.
- people of integrity, setting the highest professional standards of behaviour, welcoming diversity, straightforward with information, and not making promises we cannot keep.
Leicestershire Constabulary strives to focus its efforts on
- providing highly visible policing situated in the heart of communities through local policing units, providing every police officer with the opportunity to exert personal influence and bring about positive change
- becoming information led, concentrating resources where our impact upon vulnerability, offenders and criminality will be most effective to the benefit of all
- setting clear standards in the non-negotiables such as our response to emergencies and crisis and the investigation of crime when it has occurred
- entering into partnerships to resolve clearly identified problems and needs, sharing accountability wherever necessary
- ensuring that any resource not at the front line is fully justified on the basis of clear and objective evidence.
