Aiming for positive impact

HELLO, my name is Megan Baron. I am a new PCSO to the Mendips and will be in Wells for six to eight weeks before joining the Shepton Mallet Neighbourhood Policing Team. Previous to my new role as a PCSO, I was a sports coach for school-aged children from families who were experiencing low income.

After moving from the east of the country six years ago, I attended school in the Radstock area, where I experienced challenges within an educational environment. This led to myself having a negative experience within education. Therefore, I am passionate about creating an inclusive environment for all within education. Further, due to personal experiences within education I hope to get into the local schools and make a positive impact to the young people within the areas I will be working in.

I joined the police because I wanted to make a positive impact within communities and create a safer environment for people

The latest from the local policing team with PCSO Megan Baron

living within our policing area. From a young age joining the police was always an interest to me, after leaving the University of Bath, joining Avon and Somerset Police was my next natural step in creating a career I could be proud of. Working in Avon and Somerset Police drew my attention due to the variety of locations our police force covers from rural areas to the urban cities.

As a new member of the Mendips, I look forward to meeting and working with the surrounding community.
