RESIDENTS are being asked to take part in a survey on their local policing priorities.

Dorset Police' Neighbourhood Policing Teams are looking to get the feedback from local communities regarding the issues that are most important to them when it comes to policing and crime. 

The survey breaks down where in Dorset you live and asks residents to pick their top three priorities from a range of crimes including anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and shoplifting.

There are also boxes to add additional comments if an issue that is importnat does not feature on the list.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: "One of the roles of our local Neighbourhood Policing Teams is to work towards community priorities, the community inform us about.

"To set our priorities we look at our police systems, use our local knowledge and invite the public to complete a short survey.

"Whilst each option on the survey is important, and the teams work towards tackling all the options, it is important to see what the local communities would select as their top three.

"If you want to feed into our local priorities for your area, you can do so by: https://orlo.uk/9q1as"
