Police zone Midow (zone number 5454) is a Belgian multi-municipal zone. This means that the personnel of the zone guaranteess basic police care in several municipalities.

For PZ Midow, these are Meulebeke, Ingelmunster, Dentergem, Oostrozebeke and Wielsbeke. Hence the name of the zone, according to the first letter of the 5 municipalities.

The police zone belongs to the judicial district of West Flanders.

Each local police zone is responsible for basic police care. We do this with approximately 80 personnel, both operational personnel (usually in uniform) and civilian personnel for the support services.

Our daily operation consists of visible blue on the street: our intervention services, patrols and supervision (round the clock), traffic actions (speed, seat belt, mobile phone behind the wheel, heavy transport, mopeds, ...) and the neighborhood inspectors (13 in total).

There are also less visible police services such as the local criminal investigation department (extensive investigations commissioned by the judicial authorities) and a “social police” cell for problematic family situations, follow-up of certain persons and difficult situations, etc. The day-to-day management of the zone is in the hands of the chief of police.

The main building annex district office is located at Wielsbekestraat 96 in Oostrozebeke. The four other district offices are located at Kerkstraat 1 in Dentergem, Oostrozebekestraat 4 in Ingelmunster, Markt 1 in Meulebeke and Rijksweg 314 in Wielsbeke.
