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 – numerous reports of overweight vehicles and speeding motorists within the villages. This is being addressed best we can as a small team. The issue remains one for many areas and we understand the concerns. We continue to complete speed enforcement days with the assistance of volunteers and our road safety team. The reality is that longer term solutions are key with permanent speed calming measures to be implemented. Highways should be contacted also with any concerns. We will continue to disrupt and enforce wherever we can.
Action taken:
Multiple vehicles have been seized this month for No Tax, No insurance, Driving without a correct licence. A section 59 was also issued to a driver who was causing distress to horse riders.

Priority:
Rural crime including burglary will always be a priority for the area of NH29 beat. We continue to work closely with our partners and ensure that local contacts throughout the villages are kept up to date. With proactive patrols and having specialist trained wildlife officers, we are able to focus on the issues those crimes that are more specific to our rural beat locations. Due to the large geographical rural area that the beat consists of, it is important that we offer crime prevention advice and keep our villages updated with current threat and crime trend patterns.
Action taken:
Patrols around the more rural areas have been conducted especially on the late shift covering up to the Warwickshire border after reports of hare coursing have been received.
Rise in reports of burglaries this month as well as theft from motor vehicles. Targeted proactive patrols have been completed in response to this particularly in the latter parts of the day and night.
