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.
Look out for my update videos on our Facebook page... www.facebook.com/blabypolice
I joined Leicestershire Police in June 2007 and since then have worked at Wigston, Blaby and now Braunstone Police Station, where I have been part of the beat team for Braunstone Town and Thorpe Astley since 2019.
I am committed to improving the area, keeping it safe and a nice place to live in, work or visit. If you see me around then stop me and let me know about anything I can do to improve the area or sort out an issue you have. You can also email me or leave me a voice mail message.
