Neighbourhood Ranking History
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Neighbourhoods are compared only within the same Police Force.
Different forces have different budgets and priorities and even within the same force area caution should be excercised when comparing different neighbourhoods as again, different priorities and resources are deployed to different types of area such as inner city and rural.
Where neighbourhoods can be compared is against themselves, month by month to determine if crime is increasing or decreasing and if so, which types of crime are being reported.
Similar adjoining neighbourhoods can be compared if they are of a similar make-up.
Dorset Police covers approximately 1024 Square miles of land and a similar body of water off the coastline.
Dorset is one of a very few to not have a motorway to patrol, but does have three very busy main roads and over 3332 miles of roads to police.

Purbeck North is led by Sergeant Simon Colvin. Purbeck is an area of outstanding natural beauty and we are very fortunate to work in such a fantastic location.

This is a mixture of rural villages and towns edging on to the greater conurbation area of Poole, also encompassing Wareham forest.
