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.

We have reviewed our priorities and they remain the same. Over the past month, we have spoken with victims of crime to offer reassurance and gather information, completed rural patrols to increase visibility in areas affected by recent incidents, and continued to support ongoing investigations alongside specialist teams. This work has helped us build a clearer picture of community concerns while ensuring that active enquiries progress effectively.

Priority:
Rural Crime
You said: Reports of criminals stealing machinery from farms, theft of plant equipment and tools from building sites, as well as hare coursing is a concern for you.Action taken:
We continue to work closely with the Rural Policing Team, carrying out proactive day‑and‑night patrols, dealing robustly with offenders, visiting victims, and providing target‑hardening advice. We respond immediately to reports of hare coursing and make every effort to recover and return stolen equipment. Officers have been attending rural crime incidents, speaking with victims, and progressing enquiries. The Rural Policing Team have achieved strong results, recently recovering stolen machinery and reaching a milestone of £3 million worth of equipment recovered since their inception. We thank the community for their vigilance and reporting, and encourage everyone to ensure their equipment is security‑marked and registered so it can be quickly returned if stolen. The beat team have also been stopping trailers on the road network to ensure they are legitimate, and we appreciate the cooperation received.
