Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

As you may have seen via our communications updates or in the media, a number of incidents have occurred in Dorset that have been resource intense. Poole NPT officers and PCSOs have been providing support throughout the week to assist our colleagues, support the investigations and help keep people safe. 

On Wednesday, we responded to reports of a male in possession of a knife in Poole Town. An individual matching the description was detained swiftly by officers in the area of Skinner Street and searched. The search was negative and the individuals involved were issued dispersal notices to leave the area. 

PCSOs Matt and Sam have begun tutoring two new PCSOs, Mike and Kristina who we welcome to the team. They will spend the next 10 weeks completing their 'Independent Patrol Status' with their tutors in Poole - we wish them the best of luck!
