North Bournemouth forms a large, complex and diverse geographical area with equally diverse demands.

It has a large area of residential housing to the north and throughout the area, two large golf courses and parkland on the east and west, with the continental feel of Charminster with its cafes, restaurants and night time entertainment to the south.

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) based at Winton Police Station provide a regular and highly visible presence, tackling issues of concern and building relationships with the communities they serve.

We are committed to our vision of providing an outstanding service to the people of North Bournemouth and make it an even more safe and pleasant place in which to live, work or visit, for all sections of our community.

We recognise that the effect of crime and anti-social behaviour in North Bournemouth can have a big impact on people's quality of life, the area's economy and its reputation.

Our mission it to keep people safe and reassure the Community of North Bournemouth through high visibility patrols, regular meetings, face to face engagement and social media updates where we can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

We do the right thing by focusing on those most vulnerable in our communities and make a difference by ensuring that our targeted activity is evidence based to maximise ethical performance and results.

We collaborate by working together in partnership with other key agencies, key stakeholders and third-party sector organisations responsible for public safety and wellbeing, in order to reduce crime and disorder and the fear of crime and disorder.

This approach has led to development of 2 broad Tactical Section Priorities.

Priorities

1 Oct 2023

Drug dealing and associated criminality Drug dealing and associated criminality Drug dealing continues to be a priority that the community want the police to focus on. The impact of drug dealing and associated criminality cannot be underestimated. Many other offences are commonly linked to drug related crime, thefts, burglaries, violent crime, knife crime and the carrying of other weapons. County Lines have become an increasing problem from towns like Bournemouth with the most vulnerable in our community being targeted, especially children. We have and will continue to work with other agencies to safeguard vulnerable persons, gather intelligence and information, disrupt criminality and bring offenders to justice.
We have been tackling and disrupting drug networks in the following ways;

    • Drugs Warrants – Known address targeted, resulting in charges being brought for possession with intent to supply for class A drugs.
    • Effective partnership work with housing providers to seek civil remedies at premises known for drug related ASB, e.g closure orders, civil injunctions.
    • High visibility policing to counter reports of street dealing and reassure the community.
    • Conducting visits on vulnerable members of the community subject to possible county lines / cuckooing, regular cuckoo checks.
    • Number one for disruption activity in the force, targeting dangerous drug networks and intelligence gathering.
 
1 Oct 2023Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) As a result of our surveys our community have raised ASB as an issue which causes them concern. The term ASB encompasses a wide range of behaviours that cause nuisance and harm to others. We share responsibility with our partners to tackle ASB at a local level. Consistently the community have raised concerns around young people gathering, drinking alcohol, causing damage, smoking cannabis, littering and playing loud music. This is not an issue isolated to North Bournemouth and is an increasing problem across our county.
 
Response (1 Oct 2023)

We have been tackling this ongoing problem in the following ways;

  • Multi- agency meetings –supporting multi-agency plans to divert youth ASB/criminality and identify environmental factors associated with ASB
  • Close liaison with safer schools departments to educate and engage with school aged children.
  • Targeted patrols of hot spot locations to tackle ASB.
  • Effective use of the consequence scheme to target / sanction key ASB youth nominals with a view to applying for Acceptable Behaviour Contracts and ultimately civil remedies i.e ASBI etc.
  • Identifying those at most risk of causing harm focussing on the use of knives and weapons amongst young people and working to divert this behaviour.
