Leicester Forest East, Kirby Muxloe and Glenfield — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Leicestershire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
The Leicester Forest East neighbourhood beat covers a densely populated Leicester suburb made up of both urban and rural housing as it stretches west from the city along the busy A47 towards Kirby Muxloe. It also covers the rural villages of Kirby Muxloe and Glenfield. The area is largely residential but continues to expand, with a number of new housing developments currently underway. Also within the village is the English Heritage owned Kirby Castle, along with a number of shops and three public houses.
