Dear Residents,

This is the latest updates for our local priorities:-

Priority:

Rural Crime - you told us you were concerned about rural crime, this is crime specifically targeting rural matters, or rural communities. Along with the rural crime team we are looking to address this.

Action taken:

The force has established a rural crime team, who will lead the way in co-ordinating and dealing with rural issues. This includes both our communication with those living in the rural community and detecting crime by dealing with offenders. The rural crime team are always willing to be contacted if you want support. Please follow them on twitter and/or facebook for the latest updates.

We continue to encourage you to report concerns and locations to us, we need this information to conduct more targeted patrols.

Priority:

You have told us that Anti-Social behaviour causes you concern. This can be things like excessive noise, parties, smoking drugs and more. We will be working with partners to ensure we can tackle these issues and prevent them occurring again.

Action taken:

We will be conducting patrols in ‘hot spot’ areas. It’s important that all reports are sent to us so we can address our patrol plans and make them as accurate as possible. We record all ASB on our shared system with Harborough District Council and together we will do what we can to reduce problems and provide you with the satisfaction.

We continue to encourage you to report concerns and locations to us, we need this information to conduct more targeted patrols.

When dealing with those involved, we look to use the incremental approach, this will include taking details, contacting parents (if children) then looking to give warnings, acceptable behaviour contracts and then onto prosecution or use of ASB powers.

Priority:

You have told us that Road Safety is a priority, this includes things like speeding, vehicles with no insurance or MOT, and driving offences.

You told us that you were concerned about vehicle crime. This can be key-less theft of motor vehicles or theft from motor vehicles, this also includes theft of tools from vans and theft of number plates.

Action taken:

We have conducted regular patrols of the areas where offences have occurred, we also use covert and overt tactics to target offences and this has already resulted in arrested and recovery of property. We will continue to do this going forward.
