Your dedicated neighbourhood team
I have served as a police officer since 2001, beginning my career with Dyfed-Powys Police before transferring to Leicestershire Police in 2007. My experience spans various operational roles, including response and neighbourhood policing, and I hold specialist command qualifications in firearms and public order.
I currently lead the South Leicester Neighbourhood Policing Area, working collaboratively with internal teams, external partners, and the community to enhance safety and quality of life across the region.
With three years as a Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant, Sergeant Liz Crowson leads the dedicated teams covering the Saffron Lane and Eyres Monsell estates.
Passionate about proactive policing, she thrives on being out and about in the community—meeting residents, building trust, and gaining an understanding of the issues that matter most.
Liz enjoys getting to know the key individuals who cause the most harm and works closely with her team to tackle these challenges head-on. Her approach is rooted in visibility, partnership, and problem-solving, ensuring that long-term solutions are found for persistent issues.
I joined Leicestershire Police as a Special Constable in 2015, before becoming a full-time Police Constable in 2016. Since then, I’ve built a solid operational background, currently serving within the DNT on the Eyres Monsell estate.
I’m trained in Public Support Unit (PSU), CBRN response, and EGT PSU, enabling me to respond effectively to high-risk incidents and public order situations.
I’m proud to serve my community and remain committed to delivering professional, resilient policing every day.
I joined the Freeman beat as a PCSO in June 2017. In mid 2025, I moved to the Eyres Monsell beat.
My priority on the beat is to provide a visible and reassuring presence, with a goal of reducing Anti-Social Behaviour in the area.
If you see me out and about, please don’t hesitate to stop me for a chat. I will always take the time to listen to your concerns and will assist wherever possible.
I am a Police Community Support Officer with Leicestershire Police and have proudly served the Eyres Monsell community for the past five years. My role focuses on building strong relationships with local residents, addressing anti-social behaviour, and working in partnership with other agencies to help keep the area safe. I am committed to being a visible and approachable presence, listening to concerns, and helping to resolve local issues. Supporting and safeguarding the community is at the heart of everything I do.
I am the Deputy Commander for South Leicester Police and have been in post since the end of April 2026. Previously, I spent 7.5 years at East Leicester on the pro-active Neighbourhood Priority Team, the Thurnby Lodge Beat Sgt, and most recently the Stoneygate Beat Sgt covering Evington Road for three years. I have extensive public order experience and have been a Police Search Advisor (PolSA) for over four years.
