Current priorities
ASB is one of the beat priorities in the villages we police, but we will be focusing on Desford and Newbold Verdon this quarter, based on local reports and incidents
During high visibility patrols in Desford, officers dealt with reports of anti social behaviour, providing reassurance and addressing concerns raised by residents.
Set: 2026-04-01
Road safety is still one of the top concerns we are receiving in our community. We will be focusing on Cars Racing on A511 in Markfield.
Many vehicles have been stopped, and drivers have been spoken to. Sadly, one driver was issued a ticket for using their mobile phone whilst driving. This was all whilst passing PC Smith as he sat stationary in a MARKED POLICE VEHICLE . If only they had been paying attention to the road instead of their phone, they would likely have seen me parked up.
Set: 2026-04-01
Agricultural and Rural Crime had been identified as increasing across our Rural Communities
We have stopped multiple vehicles, including a vehicle towing a cattle trailer during the early hours. All was found to be in order with a genuine reason for travel. We have assisted the Rural Crime Team with the seizure of a stolen vehicle, originally stolen out of force area in October and later found on cloned plates. Enquiries are ongoing.
