Policing in 2012 and beyond
Make your views count

You are warmly invited to a meeting with the Chair of the Police Authority and the Chief Constable of Leicestershire Constabulary, as the two organisations enter one of the most challenging periods in our history.  In February 2012 the budget for 2012-13 will be set and these meetings will enable us to explain the options we are considering.

This series of meetings across the county will enable us to explain more about the financial challenges to be faced in 2012-13 and hear your views on local policing priorities and the use of resources.  More information will also be given on the forthcoming elections for the Police and Crime Commissioner, who will replace the Police Authority in November next year.

Despite the challenges ahead both the Police Authority and the Constabulary remain focused on further improvement of the policing services provided for the people and businesses of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Each event starts at 6.00pm (light refreshments from 5.30pm) and will finish by 8.00pm. 

The dates and venues are as follows:

Thurs 12 January 2012         Town Hall, Leicester

Weds 25 January 2012         Harborough District Council Offices, Market Harborough

Mon 30 January, 2012          Rutland County Council, Oakham

Tues 31 January, 2012         Police HQ, St Johns, Enderby, Leicester, LE19 2BX
