Your dedicated neighbourhood team
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.

Priority:
Local Police are aiming to reduce theft from motor vehicles around the Loughborough East beat.
Action taken:
Theft from motor vehicles can have a significant impact on victims, resulting in the loss of valuable property and leaving people feeling vulnerable and concerned about their personal security. To tackle this issue, officers are carrying out increased patrols in hotspot areas, conducting proactive policing activity against known offenders, providing vehicle security advice, and working closely with partners and the community to identify and disrupt those responsible.
-
Priority:
Police are developing and targeting people within the area that are drug dealing, exploiting vulnerable people by cuckooing addresses and causing anti-social behaviour from this type of crime.
Action taken:
Officers continue to use intelligence-led policing to identify offenders, safeguard vulnerable residents, and work with partner agencies to tackle drug-related crime. Community information remains vital in helping us identify those involved.
Update: During the last month, officers have conducted welfare visits to several vulnerable individuals believed to be at risk of cuckooing. Three addresses were identified as key concerns, and officers are working with the council on closure orders and evictions. We have also arrested a number of persons from Tuckers Road and Charnwood Water seizing class a drugs.
What this means for residents: Tackling cuckooing helps protect vulnerable members of the community, reduces anti-social behaviour, and improves neighbourhood safety. We encourage anyone with information about drug activity or exploitation to continue reporting it to police.

Action taken:
Dedicated overt and covert patrols are taking place across the beat, supported by specialist units including traffic officers and dog handlers. Targeted operations aim to deter offenders, disrupt criminal activity, and improve road safety.
Update: During the last month, officers conducted a road safety operation focused on offences regularly reported by local residents. This resulted in:
· Several traffic offence reports being issued.
· Multiple vehicles being seized.
· Stop searches of vehicles linked to suspected drug-related activity and drug driving arrests made.
What this means for residents: These operations help make local roads safer, reduce anti-social driving, and disrupt criminality linked to vehicle use.
