https://www.dorset.police.uk/area/your-area/dorset/bournemouth-poole-and-christchurch/bournemouth-south/Bournemouth South NPT is the Dorset Police Neighbourhood Policing team that covers Bournemouth town centre, Lansdowne, Westbourne & Westcliff areas of Bournemouth
Current Priorities
Issue
Begging, Homelessness & ASB Begging & Homelessness remains a concern and is often reported businesses, car parks and residents in blocks of flats. We are working with housing providers, building, managers, the council and charities to reduce the issue and target issues in blocks but we need the issues to be reported. As a Town Team have increased our use of civil and criminal orders as well as our referrals for support to tackle these issues when they are identified.We have brought in Hot Spot Policing – a government funded initiative to deliver enhanced patrols to tackle violence and disorder and target in areas with high levels of anti-social behaviour. This is called OP Track in Dorset and sees the NPT supported by wider resources providing visible foot patrols in key areas to further increase our visibility and this will continue through to March. Begging and Homelessness is Council led issue supported by the Town Team so any concerns also need to be reported to our CSAS colleagues or via the BCP website - Let us know about someone sleeping rough | BCP (bcpcouncil.gov.uk)
Issue
Drug dealing
Drug dealing – 75% of respondents raise this as a concern.
‘Clear Hold Build’ continues to be delivered in Bournemouth Town Centre under the new guise – Bournemouth Together –to tackle serious and organised crime. Bournemouth Together aims to reclaim and rebuild neighbourhoods affected by organised crime, makes areas safer and increases public confidence in the police and partner agencies. We will continue to focus on other areas through the use of specialist police tactics, dedicated officers, additional funded resources and the Town team in areas such as car Parks, residential blocks, and open spaces. The focus on areas under cover as the weather turns and winter approaches.
