Last week, in preparation for Safer Business Action Week 2026, the Police and Crime Commissioner visited businesses in Oadby to discuss local concerns and support the ShopKind campaign.
During the visit, the Commissioner handed out ShopKind posters promoting the message that "A long way", encouraging people to treat shopworkers with respect and helping raise awareness of the impact that violence and abuse can have on retail staff.

This week, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Oliver Bryan visited the Broadnook Garden Village development with Megan, one of the Designing Out Crime Officers (DOCO) at Leicestershire Police.
As part of the Force's Prevention Directorate, Designing Out Crime Officers liaise architects and developers to help ensure new developments are built with safety and security in mind from the outset. Their expertise helps reduce opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour, creating places where people can feel safe and secure.
During the visit, the DPCC and Megan discussed the positive design features incorporated into the development and how they can contribute to long-term crime prevention.
Oliver thanked Megan and the wider DOCO team for their expertise and commitment, saying:
"The best way to tackle crime is to stop it from happening in the first place. Things like street layout, lighting, visibility, parking and open spaces all affect how safe a neighbourhood is and how safe it feels.
With so much new housing planned across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, getting safety and security built in from day one is vital to support long-term prevention."
