Melton town south

I’ve been with Leicestershire Police for three years. I currently cover the Melton Town South Beat, and I genuinely love what I do. Meeting new people, getting to know the community, and being able to make a real difference are the things that motivate me every day in this role.

Before joining the police, I worked in an office job, but I knew I wanted something more hands‑on and meaningful. Becoming a PCSO has given me the opportunity to support people directly and help improve the area I work in.

Outside of work, one of my biggest hobbies is training in karate, which helps keep me focused, active, and disciplined.

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 the Dedicated Neighbourhood Beat Officer for the Melton Town South Beat.

I have been a police constable for over 6 years and neighbourhood policing has always been a passion of mine.
