The North West Leicestershire policing area - including Coalville and Ashby - has a new Inspector.

Inspector Steve Burge has become the new Neighbourhood Policing Commander for Coalville, taking over from Wayne Nimblette, who has moved into a new role at Force Headquarters as a Chief Inspector.

Insp Burge joins the team after a 15-month period in charge of operations training at Police Headquarters.

Leicestershire Police say he brings a wealth of experience with him, having worked in a wide variety of roles across the force.

He said: "I have been a police officer for 26 years, working within and leading response, proactive, custody and training teams, which has given me a good foundation to lead the dedicated team of officers and police staff at Coalville NPA.

"I strongly believe that the key to problem solving issues is through building strong relationships with our partners and the communities we serve and look forward to developing these partnerships as we enter 2024.

"I have inherited a great team from my predecessor Insp Wayne Nimblette whose legacy I aim to continue to ensure that North West Leicestershire is a safe place to live, work and visit.

"May I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year."
