Melton town north

Starting with Leicestershire in 2025, I joined with the intention of fulfilling a lifelong goal of starting my career with the Police, my goal within my new position as a PCSO will be to further help and develop communication and cooperation within my local area between both the Police and the public.
I look forward to working every day I am able and always enjoy the work I am able to put back into the wonderful areas I am proud to be a part of.

I joined Leicestershire Police in 2017 as a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), serving on the Highfields and St Matthew’s beat in Leicester for six and a half years. During this time, I was dedicated to working closely with local communities and partner agencies to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour, while building trust and positive relationships with residents.
In 2024, I became a Police Constable and joined the response policing team based in Melton, serving the communities of Melton and Rutland. This role has enabled me to broaden my policing experience, responding to a wide range of incidents and supporting people at times when they need us most.
I have now joined the Melton Town North Beat Team and am excited to bring the skills, knowledge and community-focused approach I developed as both a PCSO and response officer to the role. I look forward to working with residents, businesses and partner organisations to help keep Melton Town North a safe place to live and work.

I have served with Leicestershire Police for 25 years, becoming a sergeant in 2015. My experience includes a range of roles, from response policing to working as a custody sergeant within the Criminal Justice Department. Over the past year, I have supervised response policing for Melton and Rutland from Melton Mowbray Police Station. I am now looking forward to becoming part of the Melton Neighbourhood team and contributing to local community policing in a new way.

Hello, I’m Inspector Rowan Paterson Bell the Neighbourhood Policing Area Commander for Melton and Rutland.
I’ve been a police officer for 22 years, with a varied career largely spent in the north of the county, starting my career at Syston and then moving to Loughborough when the area became Charnwood. I’m a qualified detective and have worked at East Leicester in CID and the force Domestic abuse investigation team.
As a resident of the Borough, I have a real personal stake in rural policing and effective crime prevention. You can expect a strong focus on visibility, engagement, and tackling the issues that matter most to you.

I am a committed police officer with over six and a half years of service. I began my career in response policing, developing strong frontline skills in high-pressure and fast-paced environments. This role built my resilience, decision-making, and ability to manage a wide range of incidents effectively.
I later moved into neighbourhood policing, joining the Town Beat, where I focused on community engagement and proactive problem solving. Building on this experience, I progressed to the NR32 Town North Beat.
Here, I continue to deliver visible, community-focused policing, working closely with residents and partner agencies. I am dedicated to reducing crime, tackling anti-social behaviour, and building public trust through a professional and approachable manner.
