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.

Nuisance Motorbikes - results from my views survey conducted by the local team, via Neighbourhood Link, indicate that this is a priority concern on the area.
Youths are riding off road motorbikes and quads across the area and on to Netherhall or Hamilton. These vehicles are being ridden in a dangerous and careless manner causing concern to the residents for their safety.
Action taken:
Beat Police Officers continue to work to provide a safe living area for the local residents. Regular patrols are taking place during key times to try and tackle this issue.
We will also be completing targeted enforcement of the use of e-scooters and e-bikes to increase the safety of residents.
S59 notices and seizure of motorbikes have been completed.
A joint partnership approach will be taken with the council and neighbouring beat areas.

Priority:
Road Safety - There are concerns regarding parking, mainly vehicles parking on pavements and blocking access to drop kerbs and general inconsiderate parking or road use. Reports are being made of vehicles being used without tax and insurance.
Action taken:
The team continue to address your concerns regarding road safety in the local area through a combination or partnership working and enforcement.
By working in conjunction with partner agencies and listening to the local community we are able to identify high-risk areas and develop longer-term solutions through traffic calming measures and more appropriate road signage.
The beat team continue to tackle road safety concerns as part of Op Syphon addressing issues including speeding, dangerous parking, seat belt usage and more.
Patrols have been completed with Leicester City Council to identify and deal with offending vehicles, resulting in these being seized.
