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 issues we face across the beat include things like speeding, improper use of the highway such as anti-social driving, road traffic collisions (RTC) and driving without tax, MOT or insurance.

The beat team regularly attend incidents of broken down or abandoned vehicles on the highway. If viable, we will remove these vehicles and deal with owners accordingly. We also conduct proactive patrols in areas we see a high volume of vehicle related ASB such as McDonalds and Fosse Park. We will stop drivers and issue Section 59 warnings or seize vehicles where appropriate.
