Save The Date - Dorset Police Open Day
On Saturday 20 July from 11am – 4pm we will be opening up Dorset Police HQ (DT2 8DZ) to the public! We’re still working on the finer details, but you can expect displays, information stands and demos from:
Dog unit | Drone unit | National Police Air Service (helicopter) | Traffic unit | Safety camera team | Neighbourhood policing team | Firearms unit | Cyber crime team | Safer schools team | Forensics team | Search team | Marine section | Public order unit | Rural crime team | Recruitment and volunteering team | Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner
Sadly the emergency services day that has been held in Poole Park and Kings Park in recent years won’t be taking place this year due to limited resources from other emergency services. However, we know how much you enjoy learning more about our work, so we’ve decided to invite you to our HQ for a police specific open day!
It’s set to be a fantastic day and it’s free to attend – so what are you waiting for?! Get the date in the diary and let your friends and family know!

Power cut? New phone number 105 launches in September |
On 6th September 2016 a new national phone number “105” will be launched by electricity network operators for customers to call should they need to report or get information about a power cut in their area. As key stakeholders who work with members of the public who may be affected by power cuts, Western Power Distribution wanted to share this information with you. This a nationwide service that may well be of benefit to you and them.
Key points to note about this service are: · Dialling 105 will put customers through to their local electricity network operator – the company that manages the cables, power lines and substations that deliver electricity into homes and businesses in their area. · 105 is just one of the ways that customers can contact their electricity network operator. Customers can also contact them by phone or via their website, and most network operators are on social media too. · 105 is a free service for people in England, Scotland and Wales. · Customers can call 105 no matter who they choose to buy electricity from. · Customers can also call 105 if they spot damage to electricity power lines and substations that could put anyone in danger. If there’s a serious immediate risk, they should call the emergency services too. If you have any questions or would like any further information, do let us know by contacting us on 0800 096 3080 or info@westernpower.co.uk. |

Telephone fraudsters are again targeting Dorset residents.
People are being tricked by cold callers into either transferring money to a fake bank account or by sending a courier to collect it from your home address.
Protect yourself from criminals – NEVER give out your pin number or bank details to ANYONE who calls you, no matter who they claim to be, or where they claim to be from.
If you receive a call from someone who wants your bank details:
Hang up the phone and call 101, ask for the relevant Police Force and get the details they provided corroborated. We understand 101 can result in a long wait sometimes, but rather that than losing out on your hard earn money.
