Officers from Boscombe Police have been out on patrol in the East Cliff and Knyveton Gardens areas, continuing our work to tackle anti-social behaviour and keep our communities safe. During the patrol, officers met with colleagues from the BCP Parks team and Dorset Police Crime Prevention Advisors. Together, we discussed ongoing issues in the area, the measures already in place to reduce ASB, and future actions we will be taking. Partnership working is key, and by continuing to work closely with the council and our partners, we can make a real difference for residents and visitors.

GOOD SAFE SUMMER | Our high-visibility reassurance patrols will be continuing along the seafront and town centres this week as the south coast gets ready for extreme high temperatures in the latest heatwave.

Our officers and staff will be patrolling along the beachfronts as part of their daily shifts, with a focus on seizing alcohol and drugs and tackling anti-social behaviour. They have a number of tactics on standby to remove anyone involved in ASB or poor behaviour, including the use of Section 35 dispersal notices.

Key to keeping people safe this week is working with our blue light and partner agency colleagues to take robust action against anyone committing offences or causing issues for others.

We are continuing to link up with British Transport Police to ensure those coming off trains in Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth are not intent on causing trouble. And in Bournemouth, the Multi Agency Command Centre (MACC) has built direct links to British Transport Police in Southampton, so we can intercept those we suspect are intent on causing trouble.

We are ready to welcome visitors coming to enjoy all the county has to offer – all we ask is that you behave responsibly and are considerate of others.

The Force is also working with partner agencies, including the health service and local authorities, as they remind people how to stay cool and well in the extreme weather.
