Your dedicated neighbourhood team
I am Inspector Matt Allingham, I have been a police officer in Leicestershire since 2004. I have worked in a variety of roles across Leicester and Leicestershire in that time. I joined the job to protect people and prevent crime and 20+ years later that is still the reason I do this job. In the early part of my career this was mainly done by arresting people myself and getting them into court ... as an Inspector I now support and direct the officers and staff who do the arresting and investigating so that we can use our resources to give the best service we can to the people of Blaby.

I joined Leicestershire Police in 1991 and have had numerous roles within the Force.
I have been a Police Community Support Officer for several years where I have worked in teams covering the Hinckley Road and Braunstone Estate area.
My beat is Enderby, Narborough, Littlethorpe, Fosse park and New Lubbesthorpe . I work closely with the beat team and partner agencies to make the area a safe and pleasant area to live and work in.
Together the team aim to reduce crime and show a visible presence and attend local meetings, groups and events which I hope will provide reassurance to the general public and residents and help build a positive relationship with the police and their neighbourhood team.
