The Greater Hinckley neighbourhood beat covers all parts of Hinckley except for the town centre.

The beat is a large residential area which also includes several schools, a college and three supermarkets. It also has a number of large industrial estates.

There is a 'community house' established on the Wykin estate which is regularly attended by the beat officers and acts as a focal point for members of the community to raise issues affecting their neighbourhood.

Current Priorities

Issue

We have seen a slight increase in ASB on the beat over the past couple of months due to the hotter and nicer weather through the summer.
ASB incidents such as:
Vehicle nuisance or inappropriate use on parks and nearby roads.
Rowdy or inconsiderate behaviour from youths
Littering or drugs paraphernalia.

Action

Where ASB has occurred in certain areas, reports have been made by the members of the public and identifiable perpetrators have been dealt with with advice, warnings and ABC's. If there are ongoing incidents in a certain location we add it to our patrol plan and look to deter further issues by being in the area wearing hi-visibility clothing.
We have been linking in with the local authorities such as the council and try and work together to solve problems around the area

Issue

We are seeing constant reports of drug issues in the Greater Hinckley area due to the longer nights such as,
Drug use in public areas
Drug dealing in certain areas
Vehicle use for drug dealing

Action

We have seen multiple reports of drug use and dealing in the Greater Hinckley area with members of the public reporting drug use mainly in parks, and dealing all around.
We have prioritised the areas that need a police presence and will continue to complete patrols in the area so that we can catch any perpetrators causing a nuisance.
Hotspot areas have been noted on our patrol plan and they will be updated every time we complete any patrols in those areas.

Issue

Road Safety issues have been a regular issue for the Greater Hinckley area with vehicles being parked illegally/inconveniently. We have also seen road rage incidents causing RTC's and disruption within the local traffic.
Driving without insurance
Drug/Drink driving

Action

We have completed regular patrols targeting illegal/inconvenient parking giving advice to members of the public and seizing any vehicle that is braking the law.
Police officers have done regular stop checks on vehicles that we have received intelligence that are possibly driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs.
Vehicles have been seized that we have seen driving without insurance and taken off the road.
