Dorset Police said: “it’s vitally important that we are accessible to the communities we police. As such, we attend many local events and meetings where you can speak with us face-to-face.
"There were thousands of visitors from across Dorset and beyond. We got the chance to speak to lots of you today, and in particular members of the young community with aspirations to join the Force themselves. They loved wearing police hats and trying out the police car."
There will be another community drop-in at 98 St Mary Street on Tuesday, May 31st between 11am and 11.45am.
