Sergeant Georgie Wyatt is the Neighbourhood Sergeant overseeing the areas of Devizes, Marlborough, and Pewsey. She began her career with Wiltshire Police in 2014 as a detention officer before joining as a Police Constable in 2016.

Georgie initially policed Trowbridge in a uniformed role before transitioning into detective work. She spent around five years as a detective, gaining experience in both main office CID and proactive policing. Following this, she took on the role of managing a response team in Devizes.

Driven by a passion for community-focused policing, Georgie made the decision to join the neighbourhood team, where she now leads efforts to build strong community relationships and address local issues. Her broad policing experience and leadership make her a valued asset to the communities she serves.

Over the years, Kelly has built strong relationships across the community, working closely with individuals from all walks of life as well as a range of partner agencies. She is passionate about making a positive difference in the Devizes area and remains dedicated to supporting the community through visibility, engagement, and collaboration.

PCSO Paula Yarranton has been with Wiltshire Police since April 2000, initially working in the Force Contact Centre at Police Headquarters.

She is now Wiltshire Police’s longest-serving PCSO.

Paula is passionate about neighbourhood policing and enjoys the variety the role brings. She is committed to spending as much time as possible out in the community—engaging with schools, supporting local businesses, and working closely with partner agencies to help keep Devizes a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
