MELKSHAM police inspector Neil Bagnall is leaving the post after 18 months.
Insp Bagnall has been reassigned to Chippenham police station and will start his new role in a matter of weeks.
He has been the section inspector for Melksham and Bradford on Avon since Marion Deegan left on maternity leave two years ago.
A replacement has not yet been named.
The move is a result of divisional changes within the force.
