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.

Road Safety including car cruising, anti-social driving and vehicle safety has been highlighted by the public as an issue.
Action taken:
Operation Spinner patrols have taken place in response to vehicle related anti-social behaviour including regular car meets and street racing.
Last month we received dozens of calls from across the force area of a large scale car meet. Several calls reported street racing, drifting, dangerous driving and anti-social behaviour. Luckily, intelligence told us they were coming and Special Constables Sarah and Tom cut short their Sunday evening at home to kit up and hit the road. Reports were received in South Wigston, Blaby, Grove Park, Markfield, Wykin and Castle Donnington amongst others. Many vehicles were seized across the whole Operation for their manner of driving under S.59 of the Police Reform Act, and over 100 caught on Dashcams, whom should be expecting something in the post very soon. Roads Policing Officers continued to disrupt the car meets and take action as the large convoy travelled up the county and into Derbyshire who took over the Operation. A huge thank you to those who called in and provided us with information.
