Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

Good Morning,

On Tuesday, the Neighbourhood Policing Team and Response colleagues responded to reports of an aggressive shoplifter in #PooleTown. The individual was arrested, however the situation escalated when a number of street drinkers got involved and obstructed officers after alcohol was seized. A further 2 individuals were arrested, removed from the town centre and a number of Section 35 Dispersal Orders were issued.

On Wednesday, PCSOs Matt and Jason hosted a 2 hour Community Contact Point (CCP) in the Dolphin Centre as part of our commitment to be contactable at a regular time and location. We spoke to at least 40 people, all who had different questions to ask, concerns to raise and intelligence to report. Occasionally people come to us with questions that don't fall within Dorset polices remit, however we are able to signpost to the correct agencies and departments.

The #Newtown and #Branksome neighbourhood team visited Redlands Retail Park to meet with M&S, establish connections and share intelligence around shoplifters active in the retail park. We plan to conduct operations in this area as it has been identified as a Hotspot for theft and antisocial behaviour.

Here's a quick look at some of the work we've been doing to keep our community safe and connected 👇
