Leicestershire Police, What Changes, Neighbourhood Policing, Chief Superintendent, Sally Healy
Leadership for local policing will be through a single Chief Superintendent, Sally Healy, supported by a team with local knowledge and responsibility.
Neighbourhood Teams will no longer carry crime investigation. We will have smaller neighbourhood teams but they will invest in much larger proportion of their time in the community problem solving, engagement, proactive patrol, tackling ASB and managing offenders. This means that we project the total number of officer-hours dedicated to these types of duty will not reduce.
Local Policing Units will become Neighbourhood Policing Areas, reducing from 15 to 8. They will be led by an inspector with a primary role of community engagement, problem solving, anti-social behaviour and partnership working.
In addition to beat-based neighbourhood policing teams, each of our eight Neighbourhood Policing Areas will have a new Neighbourhood Priority Team. They will focus on intervention/prevention, offender management and will work with partners to support neighbourhood problem solving and community taskings.
At a forcewide level we are implementing a new unique Command Role from within existing resources. The Force Priority and Resource Commander will move resources across the Force to ensure local threats, risks and demands are dealt with in the most effective way. This will give the force more flexibility and agility in how we deploy, better matching all our resources to local threats and risks.
We will put additional neighbourhood policing resources in thirteen identified "Tiger Territories"- those locations with the highest demand.
