Local Policing Team

New Beat Officer for Beat 5

As from March 2010, Beat 5 will have a new Beat Officer. Pc. Steve Palmer (2249)will be taking over from Pc. Ahmed.

The Parish Council Members and the Clerk would like to thank Pc. Ahmed for his continued support throughout the last 8 years during his time as Beat Officer for Leicester Forest East.

We look forward to working with Pc. S. Palmer.

Prior to becoming a police officer I served in the Army for 14 years. I am married with a daughter and enjoy running and mountaineering in my spare time.

Since joining Leicestershire Constabulary in 2007 I have been based at Blaby Local Policing Unit working on a shift in front line policing and on the pro-active Neighbourhood Action Team focussing on crime and criminality within the Blaby District Area.

As the Principal Beat Officer for Leicester Forest East I hope to engage with the community making myself as accessible as possible. I look forward to taking positive action against criminal activity and tackling community issues that affect the quality of day-to-day life within the community.

Protect Yourself!

Frosty Morning Car Thefts

Cars are stolen as owners leave them running to de-ice!!

Although it is increasingly difficult to steal a modern car without its keys, thieves are still looking for the opportunity to steal them on cold frosty mornings.

Pc. Ahmed urges motorists not to leave their cars running while they are de-icing the windscreens.

As well as being a distressing time if your car is stolen, it can also prove to be an expensive one, with Insurance Companies refusing to pay out for cars stolen in these circumstances.

Did you also know that it is an offence to leave a car running on a public highway?

Please also be vigilant and remember to lock and store away any articles out of sight in the boot.

Thank You.

Pc. I. Ahmed 0153
