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.

Priority:
Drug dealing and drug use on the beat have been raised as the main priority for residents.
Action taken:
The Beat Team have been working on developing intelligence and identifying people, vehicles and places involved in drug use and drug dealing. We have received reports from residents which have lead to sanctions being put into place for those involved in such behaviour.
We have had lots of partnership meetings and patch walks for neighbourhood issues and concerns around drug use and general anti-social behaviour issues. A lot of joint visits and advice letters have now been sent. -

Priority:
Speeding and dangerous driving has been identified as the top priority for residents on the beat. This includes on residential streets as well as larger main roads.
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.
