	PC Mel Pemberton - City Beat Manager I joined Chester Inner NPT as the City Centre Beat Manager in April 2009, having previously worked on the Targeted Patrol Unit in Ellesmere Port and Chester. I started my career with Cheshire constabulary in January 2007 and my first role was as a response driver in Chester and Ellesmere Port. This gave me a good understanding of policing. I was very much drawn to community policing as this is where I see my strengths. I look forward to building relationships with the community and to be pro-active in tackling crime. Prior to joining the police I worked within HR in the private sector. Much of my home life is taken up by my children and their interests, however I do enjoy hill walking and travelling.
