RESIDENTS of Dorset are being asked how safe they feel living in the region.

Dorset’s police and crime commissioner David Sidwick is calling for residents to complete the ‘Annual Survey’.

The survey provides key information over how safe Dorset residents feel where they live, as well as how ‘visible and connected’ residents feel to Dorset Police, and whether they feel Dorset Police is using resources to the best effect,

Following the police and crime commissioner elections earlier this year, PCC David Sidwick was returned to office for a second term.

He has set about updating his Police and Crime Plan to reflect the achievements made during his first term, alongside the changed national, regional, and local picture.

Mr Sidwick said: “I know how important it is to feel safe where you live and that’s why I am asking as many Dorset residents as possible to complete my survey.

“I am your voice in policing and want to hear what matters to you and the crimes which affect where you live. This will allow me to take stock of how things have changed since last year.

“Your opinion matters to me, and to policing, and will help shape the work I do in the future. Thank you in advance for your time.”

You can access the survey via the Dorset police and crime commissioner website.
