DORSET Police will host a second Facebook Live online public meeting. 

Residents can ask questions in real time to senior representatives from Dorset Police, BCP Council and the police and crime commissioner David Sidwick during the broadcast. 

To be held between 6.30pm and 7.30pm on Thursday, September 12, the broadcast will also be used to give updates on what steps have been taken to “collectively to keep the public safe in the area”. 

Chief superintendent Heather Dixey said: “Our first event on this topic in June saw well over 100 people attend and we were able to address a number of key issues and subjects on the evening.  

“We will be using this second event to provide an update on the activity that has been taking place over the summer to keep residents, businesses and visitors safe and allay fears over safety in the town.” 

Mr Sidwick added: “Holding online meetings via social media offers out an opportunity to engage to a much wider audience.  

“It makes those of us on the panel more accessible, more able to listen to your concerns and answer your questions.” 

The live stream will be broadcast on the Dorset Police, Bournemouth Police, BCP Council and PCC Facebook pages.
