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 second 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 in the community continues, to tackle this, proactive patrols and intelligence gathering is ongoing by local officers. The team continues to target those who are known to be dealing and taking illegal drugs.  

Priority 2 Vehicle Safety.

We have been made aware of vehicles parked across the beat which do not have relevant documents as well as E-Scooters and off road bikes being ridden in a dangerous and anti-social manner. Patrols and action will be taken if any of these issues are sighted by the local team. 

Priority 3 Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB).

ASB has sadly recently increased across the community, particularly in open space areas, to combat this, officers will be out conducting visible patrols, engaging with local schools, businesses and partner agencies to deter and prevent 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.
