South Leicester Police - Beat Priorities.

Dear South Leicester Resident

You are receiving the following email as a resident living on the Freemen Police Beat.

Based on data collated from the “your views” surveys, beat knowledge, local intelligence and problems that are repeatedly reported the following have been identified as issues that are affecting people within the community the most. 

These will therefore form our beat priorities for the first quarter of the year with the local team ensuring these issues are focused on, targeted and in course acted upon/dealt with, we will work closely with members of the local community and partner agencies to do so. 

More details on the beat priorities and how the local team intend to tackle them as below.

Priority 1 Drugs. 

You have said that drug use and supply is still an issue in the community and recent reports and information gathered suggests the same. The local team will be out patrolling hotspot areas for drugs use and will continue to progress and investigate any reports of drug supply. 

Priority 2 Vehicle Crime.

Sadly, there has been an increase in vehicle related crime particularly thefts from unattended vehicles and some reports of licence plates being stolen. The team will be out progressing any reports of this nature and will also be out on visible patrols to deter issues. Local PCSO’s will be holding beat surgeries and will happily offer any crime prevention advice to also act as a further deterrent. 

Priority 3 ASB.

ASB reports have declined over the start of the winter and into the last part of 2025 but there have still been issues particularly in open space areas. Officers will be visiting local schools to educate/deter youth related ASB and will continue to work with partner agencies to tackle issues. 

If you are being affected by any of these issues or have information that may assist the local team then please do report it to us online, by contacting 101 or speaking to an officer from the team at one of the upcoming beat surgeries, please always report any immediate emergencies by calling 999.

Kind regards.
