Melton Rural South Monthly Beat Update – January 2026
Dear Resident
Welcome to January’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 Neighbourhood Link 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 January we once again saw a high number of Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) and Road Related Incidents which includes vehicle breakdowns and dangerous driving, on the beat’s roads at 35. As always, our advice is please drive to the speed limit and the weather conditions, particularly during this period of wet weather.
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. The number of criminal damage incidents in January continues to remain low at just 2, and the number of reported incidents of theft has reduced to 4. There have been 8 reports of Assault (including domestic related assault) in January across the Rural South Beat considerably reduced from the previous month. Unfortunately, the number of reported burglaries on the Rural South has increased to 5. The beat team, supported by the Rural Crime Team will be increasing high visibility patrols across the beat in an attempt to deter any further incidents and reassure residents. Please ensure you keep your doors and windows locked and your outbuildings secured. In addition there were 2 drugs related incidents PC Tranter and I will continue to spend as much time on the beat as possible, working longer shifts in an attempt to deter criminals on our area.
As always PC Tranter and I are grateful for all your help, co-operation, and support. Thank you.
