Your Voice, Your Safety, Your Dorset

As your Police and Crime Commissioner, I want to hear directly from you.

My Annual Survey is now live, and it's your chance to share your views on policing and community safety here in Dorset. Whether it’s how safe you feel in your neighbourhood, how connected you feel to Dorset Police, or how well you think police resources are being used — your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the work of Dorset Police.

Since being re-elected for a second term, I’ve updated my Police and Crime Plan to reflect the progress we’ve made so far, as well as the changing local, regional, and national landscape. That updated plan has now been in place for a year — and now I want to take stock. Has it made a difference? What’s improved? What still needs more focus?

As your voice in policing, I need to understand what really matters to you and which types of crime are affecting your community. Your answers will help guide the priorities and direction of the work of my office over the coming months and years.

Building confidence in policing is essential – especially in today’s world where misinformation and inaccurate commentary can snowball. I know trust is earned and that’s why by completing this year’s survey, you’re helping to hold policing to account. 

Your voice matters. Thank you for taking the time to share it. Your Voice, Your Safety, Your Dorset.
