Current Priorities
Issue
Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Our most recent NPT Priority Survey results continue to indicate that ASB is a top priority for the communities in Rural East Dorset. We know that ASB adversely affects people who live within our communities. The team will work in collaboration with our partners to explore possible solutions, in tackling ASB within our communities.With the help of our communities, we will identify vulnerable people who may be susceptible to becoming a victim of ASB and this will help to us to inform, reassure and signpost them for the appropriate support. We will also target ASB hot spots and offenders, utilising ASB legislation and tools at our disposal.
Issue
Tackling Drug Dealing in the community We will proactively target organised drug supply by developing and acting on community intelligence.Our enforcement will be focused on the incidents that impact the most vulnerable.
We will carry out regular safe and well checks on vulnerable members of the community, in conjunction with partner agencies and our colleagues in other Police teams. As part of this we will signpost vulnerable victims to our partner agencies and services that can offer help, support and advice.
Issue
Burglaries
Whilst burglaries in Dorset remain low, our recent priority surveys have indicated that Burglary is a concern to our communities. Therefore this will be one of our NPT priorities to tackle this crime and to offer crime prevention advice to our communities to help prevent and safeguard our neighbourhoods.
