#YouSaid - What matters to you

Your priorities are chosen quarterly and are based upon information gathered through NHL (Neighbourhood Link), social media, local engagement, and emerging crime trends. You have stated that the following key themes are important to you.

 #YouSaidWeDid

Priority 1: Issues associated with the Night Time Economy

A number of issues have been raised around the Night Time Economy in Hinckley Town Centre.

Priority 2: Shop Theft and theft from person offences in Hinckley Town Centre

The Hinckley Town Centre Beat Team work closely with local partners and businesses to deter and detect theft across the town.

Shop Theft is a concern to local and national retailers.

Theft from person (pickpocket) offences have also been identified as organised groups try to commit theft offences in busy town centres. Sales of counterfeit goods has also been raised by local retailers.

Priority 3: Anti-Social Behaviour across Hinckley Town Centre.

There has been a pattern of anti-social behaviour which has been identified as a current community issue occurring in the location of Hinckley Town Centre.

#WeDid - What we are doing

• Officers have been covering identified hotspots of anti -social behaviour so that everyone can have a safe time out in the evenings. We have been safeguarding vulnerable people so they can enjoy evenings without becoming victims of crime.

• We target known areas of concern developing intelligence and monitoring known perpetrators.

• CCTV enquiries are ongoing as we are looking to identify those involved in bike thefts.

• A few local youths have been identified and letters will be sent home informing parents about this dangerous

behaviour. We would encourage local residents to continue to report issues to us and share information and CCTV, we will use social media to engage with the community on this issue and actively target individuals identified as being involved.
