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:
General anti-social behaviour has been raised as a priority by local residents this includes nuisance by youths at Meridian Leisure Park
Action taken:
The beat team attended the Braunstone Town Fete, our patrols were not just limited to the event however. Meridian Leisure Park has had some issues recently and we included patrolling there and the wider greenspace around Mossdale Meadows. There was a group of youngsters that thought it was a good idea to hang around the edge of the event with their E-bikes. Police left the area with one of their E-bikes (which was actually an E-Motorbike) after the rider Failed to Stop but was then cornered and arrested for that offence (face drop, attitude change) and taken home. £400 of bike crushed.
