📍 A Week in the Life of the Riverside Beat Team 🚓
Here’s a snapshot of some of the work carried out by your Riverside officers this week: ✅ Proactive policing at Castle Gardens
Officers arrested a male after witnessing him attempting to complete a drug deal. He was found in possession of Class A drugs and an extendable baton. He has since been charged and remanded to court for: Possession with intent to supply Class A drugs
Possession of an offensive weapon in a public place
Possession of criminal property ✅ Specialist skills training
PC Fabian has refreshed his method of entry training — a vital skill that allows officers to enter secured premises quickly and safely when needed. ✅ Supporting emergency services 🚁
PCSOs assisted the Air Ambulance at Nelson Mandela Park, ensuring a safe and clear landing area — a crucial role in emergency response. ✅ Partnership work in the community
PC Jess (DMU officer) joined partners from the Serious Violence Team, Designing Out Crime, and Leicester City Council for a patch walk around Castle Gardens — working together to improve safety and tackle local concerns. ✅ Engaging with young people
PCSOs Haf and V visited Project SEARCH, supporting young adults with learning disabilities and strengthening positive community relationships. ✅ Targeted enforcement – Op Eye Spy
Officers carried out activity in the city centre focusing on those causing the most harm — particularly individuals exploiting young people into drug dealing and criminality. ✅ Student engagement 🎓
Officers also attended De Montfort University, speaking directly with students to understand and address any issues or concerns they may have. 💬 We remain committed to being visible, proactive, and working alongside our communities and partners to keep Leicester safe. If you have concerns or information about crime in your area, please continue to report it to us. Your support makes a real difference. 💙 #riverside
