Verwood , Three Legged Cross, Alderholt and East Rural Dorset 

hi everyone here's a quick look at some of the work we've been doing to keep our community safe and connected 

👮‍♂️ Foot patrols in Verwood have provided a visible policing presence, allowing officers to engage with residents, offer reassurance, and address local concerns.

🚔 Rural patrols were conducted across Horton, Sixpenny Handley, Cranborne, and the surrounding areas, focusing on crime prevention, community reassurance, and intelligence gathering.

🌳 Officers also carried out patrols in woodland areas following reports of damage being caused, making enquiries to identify those responsible and any vehicles linked to the incidents.

💳 The team dealt with reports of fraud, providing crime prevention advice and supporting ongoing enquiries.

🚸 An investigation is underway following a report that a child was struck by a vehicle in Verwood, where the driver failed to stop at the scene. Thankfully, the child did not suffer any serious injuries. Enquiries are ongoing, and anyone with information or relevant dashcam footage is encouraged to contact Dorset Police.

💊 Officers have continued to tackle issues relating to drug-related activity and anti-social behaviour, carrying out patrols, gathering intelligence, and taking positive action where appropriate.

🚐 We were also hosted a Mobile Police Station which was well attended by members of the public. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to speak with us, raise concerns, seek advice, and find out more about the work being carried out in their community.

Thank you to everyone who continues to report concerns and share information with us. Your support plays a vital role in helping us keep our communities safe and ensuring that local issues are addressed.

If you have information about crime or anti-social behaviour in your area, please report it via Dorset Police online or by calling 101. In an emergency, always call 999.

We hope you have a safe and enjoyable week.
