Melton Rural South Monthly Beat Update – October 2024

Dear Resident

Welcome to October’s Priority Update for the Melton Rural South Beat. Our beat priorities are decided from feedback from the community in the form of surveys through Neighbourhood Link and our crime incident reporting systems.

Thank you to all those who have completed the surveys.

Our 3 main beat priorities continue to be:

Road Safety

Drug Taking

Rural and Farming Equipment Thefts

PC Tranter and I feel it is important that we keep you as residents informed regarding the level and type of crime on the Melton Rural South beat and how it is being addressed which is why we post these monthly updates.

In October we continued to see a high number of Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) on the beat’s roads, unfortunately 2 of which were serious. Please drive to the speed limit and the weather conditions.

Road traffic enforcement on the beat’s roads continues to be addressed with high visibility speed monitoring together with using both marked and unmarked police vehicles to stop vehicles. 

We have seen a decrease in criminal damage incidents from last month with 5 reported in October, and a significant decrease in both thefts and burglaries with 2 and 3 incidents of each reported. In addition, there has been 1 incident of vehicle crime.

As always PC Tranter and I are grateful for all your help, co-operation, and support. Thank you.

PCSO French 6575
