Message from PCSO Sarah Pilcher As the local PCSO, when I am out and about in my villages, I always try and catch up with residents and I am often stopped and asked questions. In doing so I am sometimes told of villagers' concerns and issues which have included Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in the form of dog fouling, speeding, minor criminal damage, suspicious persons or vehicles, along with many other topics. Anti-Social Behaviour has a very broad spectrum which covers an array of issues but in the main ASB is anything which can impact a community and/or cause alarm and distress. Many times, when speaking with residents, I am unaware of these problems as they have not been reported to Police. If they have not been reported to the Police and then to me, they have not happened, and all would appear to be fine. I appreciate reporting anything to the Police can be time consuming but it is important that we know what is going on so we can allocate our limited resources to dealing with what is impacting our communities. If traffic related, a registration number is critical - all dealings are confidential. You can report by phoning 101 ( non-emergency ) or online via this link - Report online - Home | Dorset Police
