I joined Leicestershire police in 2008 and since then have worked in numerous roles including response policing, the neighbourhood investigation team, the road policing team, criminal justice and neighbourhood policing. I became the Melton & Rutland area Commander in September 2023 with a responsibility for managing the local priorities and working with partners to develop an effective policing strategy.
I transferred to Leicestershire Police in October 2021. I have been working in the Melton Mowbray area in a variety of roles, including as a response officer, responding to emergency calls and investigating crimes across Melton and Rutland. I then spent time as a local beat officer.
I have recently taken over the role as the local Dedicated Neighbourhood Sergeant for the Melton Mowbray area and surrounding villages. I look forward to continuing the hard work that the team has been putting in, and to getting out and about and connecting with the community.
I am PC 1836 Lucy Baxter, I have been a police officer for 4 years now and I have spent my time on response in Melton and Rutland. I have also worked in Loughborough as well. I am the newest beat officer on Melton Town Centre.
I am PCSO Durrant, say hello if you see me out and about on the beat I love a chat.

ASB continues to become an issue on the town beat, to which known ASB offenders have been arrested for offences and some have been voluntary interviewed.
ASB orders have been looked into and the council ASB team have looked into ASB orders to be issued to the main offenders of ASB around the town. We have also had a issue with youths climbing on top of buildings which we have discussed with local shop keepers to prevent this happening and making this safer for the community. We as the town beat do not tolerate any ASB and offenders will be dealt with accordingly.
