In his 2021 Police and Crime Plan for Dorset, Commissioner David Sidwick emphasized that enhancing feelings of safety goes beyond enforcement—it’s about community pride. The plan focuses on reducing crime and anti-social behavior, increasing police visibility, and supporting victims. Since its implementation, anti-social behavior and violent crime in Bournemouth have declined by 22% and 24%, respectively. Increased policing and initiatives, including funding for safety programs, have led to measurable improvements. Sidwick aims to maintain this momentum, ensuring Dorset remains a safe and confident place to live, while addressing ongoing public safety concerns and perceptions.
