Purbeck North is led by Sergeant Simon Colvin. Purbeck is an area of outstanding natural beauty and we are very fortunate to work in such a fantastic location.

Purbeck North covers a large section of rural West Purbeck, the Wareham Town area, Sandford, Holton Heath, Organford, Lytchett Minster, Lytchett Matravers, Upton, Morden, Bloxworth, Bere Regis, and Hyde. This is a mixture of rural villages and towns edging on to the greater conurbation area of Poole, also encompassing Wareham forest.

The team consists of Sgt Simon Colvin, PCSO Sarah Hart, PC Harriet Doust & PC Bethany Shave.

Neighbourhood Priorities

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) We will engage with our communities to understand the levels of antisocial behaviour in our area.
We will work with partners to problem solve and create effective plans to deal with antisocial behaviour and target activity to protect communities.

Issue Date Sunday 1st October 2023

Reported ASB has been steadily declining over recent years and local teams prioritise these types of incidents in an effort to tackle them quickly and effectively.
We work closely with targeted Youth Workers and the Community Safety Team (CST) to have joined up problem solving plans, some of which involve working towards Community Protection Orders to limit the impact of certain individuals causing a nuisance in local communities.
The team are in the process of obtaining Criminal Behaviour Orders in Purbeck - these are proven to be very successful in reducing or even stopping ASB.
We have dedicated patrol plans in place for locations that are subject to ASB reports and have worked with the CST to deploy overt CCTV cameras in these locations which has also proven successful.

Action Date Sunday 31st March 2024
