Beat Bobbies

PC 954 John Scott

I joined the Police in 1994 and learnt about the job during my early years working at Melton as a General Duties Officer. In order to get some city policing experience I moved in the late 1990's to work in the Belgrave area of Leicester. About 6 years ago I was asked to return to Melton for a few months and have been here ever since!

In November 2009 I started work as a principle Beat Officer for the Melton 40 beat, joining PC 1235 Martin Taylor and PCSO 6635 Lyn Haynes in being responsible for 30 villages to the West and South of Melton. I am looking forward to meeting people and will try to spend as much of my time as possible 'on the beat' dealing with localised issues.

PC Martin Taylor (1235)

PC Martin Taylor has been an police officer since January 1996 and previously worked at Beaumont Leys before joining the team at Melton in January 2001. The last three years were spent as an advanced police driver in the response car.

"As your beat officer, I am very keen to reduce crime, the fear of crime, target anti-social behaviour, and to generally improve the quality of life in your area. I need your help to do this, and would urge you to contact me with any issues, concerns or questions you have or with direct information regarding crime, offenders or any other illegal activity in your area."

PCSO Lynn Haynes (6635)

"I joined Leicestershire Constabulary in September 2005 and have worked at Melton police station since November 2005. I enjoy working alongside the beat officers for the Melton rural south beat, addressing crime and issues that affect the varied communities that live and work in the rural locations.

"I enjoy establishing and developing contacts in villages and being involved with their functions and local schools.
