“It has been a great honour to have been elected as Dorset’s first Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner. There was a very clear mandate and my mission now is to deliver for the people. My priorities will be to cut crime and anti-social behaviour. We will do that by having more visible community focussed policing. By fighting organised crime, drugs and the violence they bring. We will not forget the hidden harms that can be devastating for our communities – domestic violence, child abuse and fraud and cybercrime.
We will put victims and communities first and also look to address some new issues that residents care about such as the legal and safe use of e-scooters and pet theft. [BCP] is well known to me having lived there for part of my life and it deserves a clear vision for the future – I intend to reduce crime for all its residents and will work collaboratively with its passionate councillors as part of our drive to make Dorset the safest county in the UK.
