Leicestershire Police is supporting a new website that aims to quickly answer non-emergency questions and free up staff to concentrate on urgent and more complicated calls.The ‘Ask The Police’ website, which is also available as an app for smart phones, holds answers to around 750 questions, on the subject of things such as stray dogs and noisy neighbours, that the police are most frequently asked by the public through 101 or 999. The website is part of a national initiative that will assist the public to find solutions to everyday problems that can affect the quality of their lives.

The service is an easy-to-navigate website www.askthe.police.uk which is bespoke to Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and offers a range of answers and useful contacts. The website, which is free to use, will release precious time in police call centres and police stations – enabling staff to concentrate on urgent and more complicated calls from the public.

Glenfield is policed by a Safer Neighbourhood Team that consist of a Sergeant, a Beacon officer, PC’s and PCSO’s covering Glenfield, Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe.
