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.

The NPT supported the beat team by locating and arresting this male, finding him in possession of a large quantity of suspect crack cocaine and heroin. He was remanded into custody and put before the courts. We continue to develop intelligence around class A drugs supply and have further enforcements planned.

Priority:
Reducing excess speed and improving road safety on the ward.
Action taken:
Unfortunately, training planned for October, which was to improve how we deal with excess speed offences, had to be postponed due to trainer sickness. This will be re-booked. We have conducted patrols around the Newport Street/Beatrice Road area following reports of motorist ignoring the one way system. We have not seen this happening during patrols but will continue to monitor.
