ASB remains one of the beat priorities.

This month Officers from the beat team have been supporting Hinckley Police as the town welcomes the Tin Hat Christmas Fair.
Patrols on the beat have also been conducted.

Road safety – numerous reports of overweight vehicles and speeding motorists within the villages. This is being addressed best we can as a small team. The issue remains one for many areas and we understand the concerns. We continue to complete speed enforcement days with the assistance of volunteers and our road safety team. The reality is that longer term solutions are key with permanent speed calming measures to be implemented. Highways should be contacted also with any concerns. We will continue to disrupt and enforce wherever we can.

Schools in Bosworth were being monitored for poor parking and speeding during drop off and pick up times in an attempt to keep the children and pedestrians safe.
We also attended Thornton in order to educate road users around the dangers of parking wholly on pavements and excessively close to junctions. A reminder to all you must not park within 32ft from a junction, the junction of Hawthorn Drive onto Main Street was significantly congested with vehicles parked dangerously. This causes significant risk to other vehicle users and pedestrians collecting their children on foot. Parking a little further away from the school and walking to the location is a much safer and considerate option.

Rural crime including burglary will always be a priority for the area of NH29 beat. We continue to work closely with our partners and ensure that local contacts throughout the villages are kept up to date. With proactive patrols and having specialist trained wildlife officers, we are able to focus on the issues those crimes that are more specific to our rural beat locations. Due to the large geographical rural area that the beat consists of, it is important that we offer crime prevention advice and keep our villages updated with current threat and crime trend patterns.

Patrols around the more rural areas have been conducted especially on the late shift covering up to the Warwickshire border after reports of hare coursing have been received.
Rise in reports of burglaries this month as well as theft from motor vehicles. Targeted proactive patrols have been completed in response to this particularly in the latter parts of the day and night.
