Achieving this aim is supported by the priority to Improve Public Confidence and this is significantly influenced by the professional appearance of all staff—Throughout this policy ‘staff’ will include all police officers and police staff representing Dorset Police. Equally, the health and safety of staff is maximised by the provision and guidance on use of personal protective clothing and equipment. The aim of this policy is to set out the standards of appearance and dress required of all staff representing the organisation. 1.2 Our Visions and Values Dorset Police is committed to the principles of “One Team, One Vision – A Safer Dorset for You” Our strategic priority is to achieve two clear objectives: • To make Dorset safer • To make Dorset feel safer In doing this we will act in accordance with our values of: • Integrity • Professionalism • Fairness and • Respect National Decision Model The National Decision Model (NDM) is the primary decision-making model used in Dorset Police. The NDM is inherently flexible and is applied to the development and review of all policy, procedure, strategy, project, plan or guidance. Understanding, using and measuring the NDM ensures that we are able to make ethical (see Code of Ethics), proportionate and defensible decisions in relation to policy, procedure, strategy, project, plan or guidance. Code of Ethics The Code of Ethics underpins every policy, procedure, decision and action in policing today. The Code of Ethics is an everyday business consideration. This document has been developed with the Code of Ethics at the heart ensuring consideration of the 9 Policing Principles and the 10 standards of professional behaviour. Monitoring is carried out through the Equality Impact Assessment process which has been designed to specifically include the Code of Ethics. Standards of Dress and Appearance Policy and Procedure P06:2002 v2.1 3 Not Protected 1.3 People, Confidence and Equality This document seeks to achieve the priority to make Dorset feel safer by securing trust and confidence. Research identifies that this is achieved through delivering services which: 1. Address individual needs and expectations 2. Improve perceptions of order and community cohesion 3. Focus on community priorities 4. Demonstrate professionalism 5. Express Force values 6. Instil confidence in staff This document also recognises that some people will be part of many communities defined by different characteristics. It is probable that all people share common needs and expectations whilst at the same time everyone is different. Comprehensive consultation and surveying has identified a common need and expectation for communities in Dorset to be:- • Listened to • Kept informed • Protected, and • Supported. 2 Standards 2.1 Legal Basis The organisation is lawfully entitled to set the standards of appearance and dress of its employees in pursuit of its aims, priorities and values. Equally, the Organisation must ensure the health and safety of all staff relative to risks anticipated. The Personal Protective Equipment Regulations require employers to provide free of charge protective clothing through the completion of an informed risk assessment. This policy has been drafted with Health and Safety legislation and guidance taken into consideration. This document makes reference to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). PPE in law refers to items worn to protect employees against risks to their health and safety. It includes clothing, but does not include items for achieving law enforcement effect such as batons and incapacitant spray. However, for the purposes of this document those items have been included within that term as a generalism. PPE will only be issued following an informed risk assessment process. Staff are to report any defects in PPE promptly to their supervisor. Staff must ensure that issued PPE is maintained in a serviceable condition at all times. Standards of Dress and Appearance Policy and Procedure P06:2002 v2.1 4 Not Protected 2.2 People, Confidence and Equality Impact Assessment During the creation of this document, this business area is subject to an assessment process entitled “People, Confidence and Equality Impact Assessment (EIA)”. Its aim is to establish the impact of the business area on all people and to also ensure that it complies with the requirements imposed by a range of legislation. 2.3 Monitoring / Feedback This policy will be monitored in line with changes to procurement, changes in legislation and in line with issues raised / discussed at the Clothing and Equipment Board and will be reviewed on a regular basis. Feedback relating to this policy can be made in writing or by e-mail to Address: People, Confidence and Equality Team, Corporate Development, Police Headquarters, Winfrith. DT2 8DZ E-mail: [email protected] Telephone: 01305 223746 3 Procedure Section This Standards of Appearance and Dress Policy applies to all members of the force and will be referred to as staff (this includes officers, staff, special constables and volunteers). All staff will maintain a standard of appearance that supports the aims, priorities

    Neighbourhood Engagement Contract …………………………………………..…… East Dorset Neighbourhood Policing Team Neighbourhood Engagement Contract - Self Evaluation Report and Neighbourhood Engagement Plan Part 1 – Introduction and Self Evaluation Section or department Eastern NPT Date of completion 26072019 This is a self-evaluation completed by the NPT Sergeant and Inspector responsible for the specific section or department. The second part of this report becomes the Neighbourhood Engagement Plan when complete. This report will be completed annually and submitted to the SMT for final assessment by the OPCC. Results of the evaluation will be taken to Force boards. Provide the context of your business area in relation to Engagement with communities. The Eastern section consists of a large rural community with three key towns of Wimborne, Ferndown and Verwood and large villages such as Corfe Mullen and Alderholt. The popularity of the area, being close to the New Forest, Bournemouth and the Dorset coast, has seen a rapid expansion in housing from the 1980s with the Verwood, Ferndown, West Moors and Corfe Mullen populations more than quadrupling. There still remains a rural feel, however, especially in the north and west of the area. The towns hold the majority of the 59,039 households and 138,570 people (2016). The average age of the community, across the section, is 47. The proportion of individuals over the age of 65 is significantly higher than the national average. More than half of the population are made up of successful professionals, in suburban or semi-rural homes and active elderly people, living in pleasant retirement locations. Current housing growth can be seen to be concentrated on the Colehill, Wimborne and West Parley wards, with 2,500 new homes being built around Wimborne alone (2018 onwards).

  • Chief Constable for Dorset Police Thank You for Your Interest in Becoming the Next Dorset Police Chief Constable
    The appointment of the Chief Constable for Dorset Police Thank you for your interest in becoming the next Dorset Police Chief Constable. Dorset is one of the highest performing police services in England and Wales: we are rated ‘good’ overall by HMICFRS; have the ninth lowest crime rate; and are supported by consistently strong levels of public confidence. Despite this, I recognise our current and future challenges, and wish to appoint a Chief Constable who shares a vision of continuous improvement and who understands that policing is at its best when it represents, works with and strengthens our communities. As PCC, I have the privilege of representing Dorset residents, and they deserve an exceptional and proven leader who will build on past successes, deliver the priorities as set out in my Police and Crime Plan, and drive the Force towards being ‘outstanding’. From me, you will have a partner who will provide challenge, direction and support. Together we can tackle not only, the things that matter to our local residents, but also, the complex and high harms that drive our demand. As Chief Constable, I will expect you to further develop our shared culture of innovation and transformation, including across the wider partnership landscape. If you share this ambition, and believe you are the right person to lead our police service, then I encourage you to contact my Chief Executive, Simon Bullock, on [email protected]. Best wishes, David Sidwick Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset ROLE PROFILE POST ROLE PURPOSE Chief Constable The Chief Constable has the overall responsibility for leading Dorset Police.

This proposal is designed to increase levels of access and deliver an improved police service to the residents and visitors to Swanage and the surrounding area. We believe that such an approach would facilitate an even closer working relationship between the Town Council and the Force and offer the opportunity to enhance further the police service through a common enquiry desk serving both organisations. The proposal is that Dorset Police occupy the entire Annexe building (with the exception of the archive store on the lower ground floor), amounting to approximately 75sq.m across 3 levels. This will necessitate some minor internal building modifications to make the space fit for purpose and meet security requirements.
