Dorset Police - Dorchester Neighbourhood

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.

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.

Drug Dealing including County Lines activity

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

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.

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 council Community Safety Team (CST) to ensure joined up problem solving plans, some of which involve working towards Community Protection Orders (CPOs) to limit the impact of certain individuals causing a nuisance in local communities.  The team have obtained three Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) in the Dorchester area and continue the process of obtaining them as required for other areas of West Dorset - these are proven to be very successful in reducing or even stopping ASB.  We have also issued a number of advice (pre-warning) letters to an individual advising them of their behaviour and impact it has on the community, whilst explaining the CPWs that will follow if their behaviour does not improve.
 
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.  On the 28th of May, the "100 Days of Summer" policing operation began – officers are tasked with ASB patrols in areas where in previous years ASB increases through the summer period (hotspot areas).

Drug Dealing including County Lines activity

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

We have been responding to community information and have executed warrants across West Dorset targeting drug dealers.  To date since April, West Dorset NPT have executed 10 warrants with more being planned as information is developed.  West Dorset officers have seized a vast quantity of drugs, cash and other items during these warrants with multiple arrests being made.
