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.

Joint visits have now been carried out alongside the Leicester City Council community safety team, allowing for early intervention and engagement with those involved, and the identification of any underlying issues contributing to the behaviour.
High-visibility patrols remain in place within known hotspot areas, and further enforcement action will be taken where necessary against repeat offenders. This partnership approach aims to reduce incidents and provide reassurance to local residents, with ongoing monitoring to ensure the issue. -

Tackling drug dealing and drug use remains a key priority for police. Officers continue to carry out targeted operations based on local intelligence and are working closely with Leicester City Council to take action against addresses linked to drug-related activity.
Information provided by members of the public has been vital in supporting this work. Reports from the community help officers identify hotspots, build intelligence, and take effective action against those involved in drug-related crime. This ongoing cooperation plays a crucial role in enabling police to target the right individuals and locations.
Residents are encouraged to continue sharing information, as all reports contribute to a clearer picture of activity in the area and help keep communities safe. -
Priority:
We know from previous years that at around this time off-road bikes and quad bikes start to become an issue – being ridden illegally and dangerously in open and green spaces. With the nights getting lighter, we will be carrying out dedicated patrols to try and tackle this issue.
Action taken:
Operation YATTER continues to address the ongoing issue of off-road bikes and E-bikes being used across open spaces within the beat. Officers have taken positive action, resulting in the seizure of several off-road bikes and E-bikes linked to anti-social behaviour and community disruption.
Police will continue to carry out targeted patrols and intelligence-led activity to identify those responsible and take enforcement action where necessary. The use of a range of proven tactics from previous summers remains in place to reduce incidents and improve safety for residents.
Members of the public are encouraged to keep reporting concerns, as community information remains vital in supporting police to take effective action against those involved
