This week your local Neighbourhood Policing Team has been busy across the area:
We held a Community Contact Point at The Exchange, Sturminster Newton, providing residents with crime prevention advice and the opportunity to discuss local concerns.
Assisted with a disorderly male in Shaftesbury who was subsequently issued with a Section 35 Dispersal Order. Completed our mandatory annual First Aid Training. Completed mandatory JESIP Training, strengthening our ability to work effectively alongside partner emergency services. Arrested a suspect in connection with domestic violence offences. Attended a criminal damage incident, carrying out enquiries and supporting those affected. Attended several broken-down vehicles on fast roads, helping keep motorists safe and minimising disruption. Located and arrested a male wanted by the courts, after failing to attend court for firearms-related offences. Worked alongside the local Town Council Grounds Team regarding reports of suspicious activity. Thankfully nothing sinister was identified, although a Roman nail was discovered! Received some fantastic news from our partners at Dorset Council Adult Social Care. Following joint work to support two extremely vulnerable individuals, both have now been safeguarded through the courts. We hope this positive outcome will help everyone involved thrive once again.
When is the next community contact point (CCP)?
Community Contact Point - Dike & Son, Stalbridge on Friday 21st August 3pm-4pm
Pop along for a chat if you have any local concerns, issues you'd like to discuss, or simply want to meet your local policing team.
