Rutland South Announce Upcoming Beat Surgeries
Local residents are being encouraged to step out and engage with their neighbourhood policing team as PCSOs Andy Wylie and Beth announce two upcoming "beat surgeries" for the Rutland South area.
The events, designed to provide a direct line of communication between the community and law enforcement, aim to tackle localised concerns in an informal, face-to-face setting.
The first of the two sessions will be held this week in Uppingham, followed by a later date in Edith Weston.
Friday, April 17, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at the Uppingham Methodist Church. PCSO Beth will be on hand to discuss local issues.
Friday, April 24, 2026, starting at 11:00 am at the Edith Weston Shop. PCSO Andy Wylie will be leading this session.
For those unfamiliar with the term, a beat surgery is far less formal than a police interview or a town hall meeting. It is a drop-in session where residents can stop by, share a coffee, and speak with their local Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) about anything from speeding and anti-social behaviour to general safety tips
"A beat surgery gives individuals or communities the chance to meet their local police or raise issues that are specific to their area," says PCSO Andy Wylie. "No area is the same, and we want to hear about what matters most to the people living here."
Rutland Police are also pushing for more residents to sign up for Neighbourhood Link, a free community messaging service. By registering, residents can receive monthly newsletters and stay updated on crime alerts and future surgery dates.
Interested parties can sign up at the official portal: leicspolice.link/qLrgQ.
Whether you have a specific grievance to air or simply want to meet the faces behind the uniform, your local officers are eager to see you there.
