About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Seasonal response

    Location:
    Bournemouth Beach

    Describe the issue & its affects:
    During the summer months, particularly hot weather, Bournemouth sees an increase of hundreds of thousands of locals and visitors to the beach.
    Sadly, this can attract ASB, and criminal offences.

    What action will you take to tackle the issue:
    - We will dedicate patrols to the beach during hot periods
    - Utilise dispersal notices and stop & search powers
    - Work with beach services and other partners (such as CCTV, BTP and SWR) to identify offenders and bring them to justice

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    This is a new priority and an update will be provided in August

    Actioned 01 October 2026

  • Priority:

    ASB street drinking & drug use

    Location:
    Purbeck Road, Bournemouth

    Describe the issue & its affects:
    Local residents have raised concerns regarding drug use and ASB in the Purbeck Road area of Bournemouth. This is causing harassment, alarm and distress for the local community.

    What action will you take to tackle the issue:

    High visibility patrols
    Engagement with local businesses, educational establishments and residents
    Utilisation of both civil and criminal legislation to target those committing offences

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    July Update: This priority is ongoing as we continue towards improving the issues.

    June Update:
    We continue to patrol this location on a regular basis. We are also working with the landlord of one specific property to drive down ASB caused by the resident.

    On 14th May officers observed some suspicious activity by two individuals in Purbeck Road. Some swift action resulted in them attending a local address, where a third individual was located. A quantity of drugs was located in the address, and all 3 individuals arrested for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs. All three remain under investigation for the matter. We will continue to pursue those bringing illegal drugs in to the community.

    May update:
    We continue to patrol this on a regular basis. In the last 90 days, we have conducted 88 patrols in that hotspot, with nearly 2700 minutes of patrols. We have been able to self deploy to incidents of ASB, arrested 3 people, seized a knife and submitted intelligence. We also continue to engage with partners such as BCP ASB team to address specific addresses causes the most harm to the community.

    Actioned 01 October 2026

  • Priority:

    Youth related ASB

    ASB street drinking & drug use

    Location:
    Bournemouth Town Centre

    Describe the issue & its affects:
    We have seen an increase in youth related ASB, with reports of young people entering derelict buildings, often known as urban exploring. This causes both ASB to local residents, but more importantly, often causes a risk to those taking part, as buildings can be unsafe.

    What action will you take to tackle the issue:
    - We will identify offenders and work with youth services to educate those causing harm.
    - Work with ASB and youth services utilising the consequence schemes.
    - Work with landlords to provide additional security

    Issued 01 July 2026

    Action taken:

    This is a new priority and an update will be given in August

    Actioned 01 October 2026
