Our Work

Within this section is information about what we do, how we do it, and who are our partners in the community safety landscape and beyond.

Partnerships

Whilst the Police are clearly the main organisation responsible for tackling crime in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, they cannot do this in isolation. A wide range of working relationships are essential to make sure that the best laid police and crime plans are effective.

Community Safety

The organisations making up the Community Safety landscape of the Leicestershire Force Area play a crucial part in achieving the priorities outlined in the Police and Crime Plan.

Strategic Policing
Requirement

In July 2012, the Home Secretary issued the Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR) which both the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Chief Constable must take into account when carrying out their roles.

Victims and Witnesses

Extensive planning and thought has been undertaken to decide the best way forward and the OPCC, in conjunction with Leicestershire Police, criminal justice agencies and local authority partners, have designed a new approach which will ensure the needs of victims and witnesses will be first and foremost at every stage of the justice process.

Community Remedy

Community Remedy follows the familiar ethos of restorative justice and is intended to give victims of low-level crime & anti-social behaviour a say in a perpetrators out of court punishment.
