Leadership for investigation and intelligence will be through a single Chief Superintendent, Stuart Prior, supported by a team with specialist knowledge and responsibility.

After initial action/investigation, reports of Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour will be assessed by a new Investigation Management Unit. This unit will ensure that those reports with viable enquiries/actions are allocated for further enquiry, and will ensure excellent victim follow-up for thos reports without viable lines of enquiry or action.

Local crime will be investigated under three hubs across the Force with geographic ownership. Local crime investigation will take place under the Crime Directorate leadership. Crime will be investigated by detectives, police officers and Investigative Support Assistants.

Neighbourhood and response officers will not deal with prisoners but hand them to the investigative hubs, freeing up their time to get back to their area and deal with their core role.

Leicestershire Police, What Changes, Patrol & Resolutions Teams, and Managed Appointments Unit



We will revise how we deliver "response" policing by:

Implementing a new dedicated Managed Appointment Unit. This will deal with less urgent matters in a more effective and customer focused way. Same-day appointments to suit the needs of the caller will be available and much more frequently used than at present.

Delivering Emergency/Priority response through a forcewide team, removing arbitrary boundaries which can impact negatively on service delivery.

This Emergency/Priority response team will be called the "Patrol and Resolution Team"

Optimising locations of start-and-finish hubs for this service, and putting in place a crewing arrangements to maximise visibilty.

Hubs will be based at:

Loughborough (and Melton)

Euston Street

Keyham Lane

Braunstone

Providing improved IT, including mobile data, to ensure that officers can remain out and about.

Implementing a patrol strategy based on threat and risk and harm to ensure that the Patrol and Resolution Team, and other teams are utilised effectively. This will be dynamically managed by the Priority and Resource Commander.

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.
