Birstall, Wanlip & Broadnook - June Newsletter

Welcome to the monthly update for the residents and communities of the Birstall, Wanlip & Broadnook Neighbourhood Policing Area (NPA). This newsletter will be circulated on a regular basis and will provide an insight into what is happening at the NPA.

Residential Burglaries

Officers have continued to carry out targeted patrols in hotspot areas while engaging residents with reassurance and crime prevention advice. This visible, proactive approach has allowed for community confidence and vigilance. Specialist teams continue to work with the public and review CCTV to support investigations. There has been a reduction in offending but patrols will remain ongoing to help and assist this progress.

Youth-Related ASB (Antisocial Behaviour)

Enhanced evening and weekend patrols have been deployed in key areas, providing reassurance and helping to prevent incidents from escalating. Officers are taking a proactive, proportionate approach—identifying those involved early and addressing behaviour before it becomes more serious.

Strong partnership working with youth services, schools, and other agencies is supporting long-term solutions. A focus on early intervention, diversion, and support is delivering encouraging progress in reducing repeat behaviour, while continued vigilance remains key to sustaining these improvements.

Vehicle-Related Crime

Officers continue to make effective use of enforcement powers, including those under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act, in known hotspot areas. Collaborative work with the local council and businesses is delivering positive steps toward long-term prevention, including environmental improvements and joint initiatives that enhance security and reduce vulnerability.

Residents are still encouraged to remain vigilant and security advice is always available should residents require it. As the hot summer months arrive, it is still important for residents to keep their valuables safe and secure, keep in touch with neighbours during periods of leave away from home, monitoring appropriate communication platforms to relay information and provide any investigations with supportive CCTV.
