The Bridport section covers the towns of Bridport, Lyme Regis & Beaminster, the large farming communities of West Dorset and the world famous Jurassic Coastline.

2020 was a challenging year for all and as we move into what we expect to be a bumper 2021 summer season, your Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) is being tasked to cover tourist & ASB hotspot locations to ensure that the residents and visitors to Dorset this year are able to enjoy our beautiful county.

The NPT work alongside partner agencies and the local community to ensure Bridport remains a safe place to live, work and visit. Working in partnership means we can tackle the issues that most affect local people. Please see the Priorities section below for the priorities that we are currently working on.

We regularly update our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter & Instagram - You can follow us using the links on the right hand side of this page). We also utilise Dorset Alert (See the foot of this page for details of how to sign up and see how we can keep you informed so you can help us keep your community safe).

Priorities

1 Oct 2023

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

We will engage with our communities to understand the levels of antisocial behaviour in our area.
We will work with partners to problem solve and create effective plans to deal with antisocial behaviour and target activity to protect communities.

Response (31 Mar 2024)

Reported ASB has been steadily declining over recent years and local teams prioritise these types of incidents in an effort to tackle them quickly and effectively.
We work closely with targeted Youth Workers and the Community Safety Team (CST) to have joined up problem solving plans, some of which involve working towards Community Protection Orders to limit the impact of certain individuals causing a nuisance in local communities. 
The team are in the process of obtaining Community Protection Warnings in areas of West Dorset - these are proven to be very successful in reducing or even stopping ASB.
We have dedicated patrol plans in place for locations that are subject to ASB reports and have worked with the CST to deploy overt CCTV cameras in these locations which has also proven successful.

1 Oct 2023

Drug Dealing including County Lines activity

We will respond to community intelligence and take positive action in tackling drug related activity.

Response (31 Mar 2024)

We have been responding to community information and have executed Warrants across West Dorset targeting drug dealers.
We are focussed on the prevention and disruption of County Lines drug activity in the local area.  We are involved in weekly intelligence meetings and take specific actions as a result.  We are relentless in targeting those involved in illegal drug activity in the community and will act on information provided to us.
