Your local team
I’m Inspector Rob Campbell, and I lead the Neighbourhood Policing Team for Selby. I’ve worked in policing for over 20 years, starting out as a Police Community Support Officer before becoming a Constable and serving in both West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. I’ve held various operational roles, including response, custody and communications but neighbourhood policing has always been where I feel most at home. I’ve previously worked in neighbourhood teams in Pontefract and Knottingley, Selby, and York city centre, and I’m passionate about building strong relationships with local communities. I’m committed to tackling the issues that matter most, supporting vulnerable people, and using our resources as efficiently as possible to respond to local priorities. I work closely with partners and local stakeholders to deliver long-term problem solving and community-focused policing.
