Leicestershire Police, What will not change

Leicestershire Police, What will not change



Elements of our service are currently provided very effectively through regional collaborations;
for example murder investigation, counter terrorism and serious and organised crime. Others are provided at a Force level; such as contact management, serious crime investigation and safeguarding. These will remain but continue to look at ways to provide value for money in their own business areas.

Response policing will continue to be provided by officers from hubs based Force wide.

Neighbourhood policing and our shared ethos for this remains unchanged. This continues to focus on community engagement, problem solving and working with partners to deal with local community concerns.

Neighbourhood boundaries will not change as a result of these proposals. (changes may occur in response to ward-boundary revisions)

PCSO numbers will rise to 251 across the Force in line with the precept increase until 2017.

Inspectors will have responsibility for local policing in set geographic areas, being the recognised face for local policing and partnerships.

Local policing ownership at a senior level will be provided by leaders with local knowledge and understanding.

Local crime investigation will under the leadership of the Crime Directorate

Force level resources will manage issues under the Operation Tiger banner targeting those who cause most harm in our communities.
