Neighbourhood Policing Team Weekly Update

Verwood, Alderholt and East Dorset Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team 

There have been some recent changes within the team. I am PCSO 7853 Juliet Cox, your new Police Community Support Officer for the area. Joining the team is Sergeant Craig Paul, who has taken over from the recently retired Sergeant Jane Moore, and PC Kevin Miller, our new East Dorset Rural NPT Officer. Many residents will already know PC Julia Ratcliffe, who is well established within Verwood. 
We are looking forward to meeting local residents and working alongside our communities. 

We will be holding a Community Contact Point at Budgens, High Street, Sixpenny Handley, from 1pm to 2pm on 27th July 2026.

And we also hold our monthly Mobile Police Station in Verwood on the 1st Thursday of the month.  Please come along to meet the team, raise concerns, and discuss local issues. 

Here's a quick look at some of the work we've been doing to keep our community safe and connected this week:

Please continue to report concerns via the Dorset Police website or by calling 101. Your reports help us identify issues and target our patrols where they are needed most. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable week.
