THIS week is Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week and police are reminding communities that it’s their reports that show officers which areas are hotspots.

Anti-social behaviour, also known as ASB, is commonly linked to how safe people feel and persistent ASB can have a significant impact on people’s lives.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: “We know there is not one simple solution to anti-social behaviour, but you can help us and our partners take the ‘anti’ away from anti-social by reporting issues.

“Your reports help officers understand where the hotspots are. If we are not able to deal with your complaint ourselves, advice will be given on who can help. Contact AskNED, the non-emergency online directory.”
