DORSET Police is encouraging residents to take an online survey on local issues and priorities.

The Dorset Neighbourhood Policing Priority Survey covers all Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) in the Dorset area and allows those who complete it to pick issues within their area which they believe should be prioritised by local police - along with the option of adding their own comments on what could be improved.

Each NPT team updates their priorities on a quarterly bases and used the feedback from residents as part of a previous survey alongside the teams' local knowledge to update their quarterly priorities last month. With teams unable to hold face-to-face engagements with their communities, the survey will continue to guide neighbourhood policing priorities in the coming months. Priorities are due to be updated in April.
