How to contact your neighbourhood policing team and who they are

Neighbourhood Sergeant

  • Paul Kear Sgt Paul Kear (923) I joined Leicestershire Constabulary in 1993 and spent the following 3 years as a response officer in the Beaumont Leys and Braunstone areas.

    For the next 2 years I was a Principle Beat Officer based at Loughborough transferring to the Tactical Support Group (TSG) for the next 5 years until I was promoted to patrol sergeant.

    In 2007 I transferred to Loughborough where I worked on Neighbourhood Management and as a Citizen Focus Sergeant and I am now looking forward to the challenge of my new role as Neighbourhood Sergeant at Melton, where I will be overseeing all the beats within the local policing unit.

    I am a keen cyclist and look forward to working in the area that I have ridden around since a teenager, so if you see me out and about please come and say hello.


  • PC Mark Longden PC Mark Longden (210) PC Mark Longden joined Leicestershire Constabulary in 1988 and spent several years working in Leicester City centre before specialising in several different departments at Force headquarters.

    In 1998 he moved to Melton LPU and took over responsibility for beat officer policing in 17 villages situated around the village of Somerby on the south side of Melton before moving to the Belvoir Neighbourhood.

    "Maintaining a sustained visible police presence is my main focus, which in turn will allow me to address the local issues of the villagers. Their concerns will be high on my agenda along with the reduction of crime and public reassurance."
  • Sharon Roscoe PC Sharon Roscoe (4364) I joined Leicestershire Constabulary in 1999 and started at Market Harborough as a response officer.

    I transferred to Melton as a response officer then became beat officer for the town Centre. I transferred over to Hamilton Police Station in the Intelligence Unit for a few years prior to returning to Melton as an Intelligence officer.

    I am now policing the area that I grew up in and where I have always wanted to work. I believe passionately about keeping my community safe and together we can achieve this.

  • PCSO Robert Wood PCSO Robert Wood (6622) "I have been a PCSO with Leicestershire Constabulary since early 2005. As an ex-officer, I have found the role to be both rewarding and challenging. Having spent time working the town centre beat at Oakham, I applied for a move to Melton Mowbray where I have been working the town centre beat since March 2006. This has proved to be a very rewarding period, and I now move to Bottesford in January 2008 where I shall join up with an exceptional team who are dedicated to one of the largest beats in our area of responsibility.

    "With 38 villages and an area measuring about 120 square miles to police, I am certainly going to be kept busy!"
