Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner David Sidwick is encouraging residents to take part in a new survey about proposed changes to policing.
The Government is reviewing police force structures and considering changes that could affect how policing is organised across England and Wales, including Dorset.
Although no decisions have been made, the survey aims to gather local opinions to ensure Dorset’s perspective is included in national discussions.
David Sidwick said these changes could be significant and stressed the importance of local people having their voices heard. He encouraged residents, businesses and community groups to complete the survey and share their thoughts.
Responses will help shape the future of policing by reflecting the priorities of Dorset communities.
The survey is now open and can be completed online at https://s-url.co/D5ozAA.
