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.

Action taken:
From 17 October, Leicestershire Police safety camera
vans will be carrying out seatbelt monitoring as part of a
pilot road safety project. Failing to wear a seatbelt is
one of the Fatal Five behaviours most likely to result in
death or serious injury. During the pilot, motorists found
not wearing a seatbelt will receive a warning letter
explaining the dangers. A seatbelt is your best
protection in a collision. Make sure everyone in the
vehicle is buckled up before every journey.
Operation Spinner patrols have taken place in response to vehicle related anti-social behaviour including regular car meets and street racing. We continue to Patrol locations where these meets take place and seek to take action against those taking part.
