Earl Shilton and Barwell — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Local policing team in the Leicestershire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.

All Leicestershire Police neighbourhoods

The Earl Shilton and Barwell neighbourhood beat is mainly residential with some industrial areas. Both towns include a shopping area that is well used by the community. Local beat officers have set up many initiatives directed at crime prevention and detection. The officers are keen to develop links within the community and so will be holding regular police surgeries to identify and tackle specific problems that affect the beat.

Contact the team

In an emergency always call 999. For non-emergencies call 101 or use Leicestershire Police's online reporting.
