Leicestershire Police recognises that when a hate incident or hate crime occurs it does not simply injure the victim or damage their property but can, and often does, seriously affect whole families, local communities and society as a whole. Leicestershire Police will investigate all hate incidents and hate crimes rigorously and proportionately. It is recognised that even the most innocuous hate occurrence if mismanaged has the potential to become a critical incident.

The Police (Property) Act 1897, as amended by the Police (Property) Act 1997 allows regulations to be made in relation to the disposal of property that has come into Police possession. This is where it is in connection with their investigations, where the property is unclaimed, perishable, or where it is too expensive or inconvenient to keep.
