Your Dedicated Neighbourhood Team (DNT) is a group of local police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers based in your area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Drug dealing & Drug use:
You said: Crimes involving drugs are causing concern, whether that's taking drugs or dealing, specifically in open spaces
What we are going to do: Increase patrols in the open spaces at key times. We will develop intelligence to help identify and arrest offenders. We will liaise with partner agencies to obtain supportive measures to help prevent them from further offending. We will also hold engagement events in hot spots to provide an opportunity to report to us face to face.

A joint visit with Community Safety was conducted at an address where we were receiving lots of intelligence around drug dealing. This helped identify residents living there and build a picture of any potential county lines. Officers also completed a walkthrough of Castle Gardens with the Parks team from the council to discuss how best to prevent drug related issues, specifically in the darker hours. Proactive work from the team identified drug dealing in progress which resulted in 2 arrests and suspects put on bail for possession with intent to supply offences.

Theft from stores
You Said: Theft from local stores is causing a huge concern to local businesses and the people that work within them.
What we are going to do: Increase patrols around the vicinity of stores. Liaise with the stores security teams to help with prevention. Obtain court orders for prolific offenders, and more.

Reports of theft has maintained the same since Christmas, where we would usually see a decrease. The team have arrested numerous offenders and obtained Criminal Behaviour Orders in court to prevent them from re-attending. Sgt Wilson held meetings with area managers of a retail chain to discuss how best to tackle and prevent further offending, which include identifying the prolific offenders and bringing them to justice.
