    I am approachable and enthusiastic about engaging with the community, working effectively to reduce levels of crime and anti social behaviour.
    I will spend time within the community and will often be seen patrolling on foot and bicycle.
    Please feel free to approach me or contact me in relation to any concerns you may have in relation to the local area

    Please feel free to speak to me if you have any issues or concerns.
  • PCSO Gian Testatonda PCSO Gian Testatonda (6441) "I joined the force in 2010 after serving on active duty with the armed forces, and I hope to provide an accessible police presence for my beat, and to make a difference by actively getting involved in the community."
  • Kieran Bennett PCSO Kieran Bennett (6866) I have been in the role as a PCSO since June 2009. I spent a short period of time working at Coalville and since October 2009. I have been based at Ashby and cover Measham and the surrounding villages.

    I intend to help the community and be easily approachable and will take the time to listen to issues, queries and questions that the community may have. I also intend to show a high presence on the area to make myself more easily accessible and known amongst the community. I intend to work closely with the beat team and community to reduce ASB, criminal activity and offer reassurance.
  • Patrick McDonald PCSO Patrick McDonald (6683) I joined the Leicestershire Constabulary as a PSCO “to make a difference” in August 2006 after 20 years working for Caterpillar UK in the manufacturing sector.
    I have enjoyed working with people in the communities of Moira, Donisthorpe, Oakthorpe, Blackfordby, Springcottage, Albert Village and Acresford for the past five years. I recently returned to my beat team from a twelve month secondment to the North West Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) team which proved a very rewarding experience tackling some of the North West’s ASB “hot spots” and dealing with “key” individuals.
    I can often be seen cycling around my beat (weather permitting) and I’m always happy to stop for a chat and cuppa!
    I am now part of the newly formed Forest beat team which includes Measham and surrounding villages, I’m here to help so please feel free to get in touch.
