www.dorset.police.uk OPEN FARM DAY – FIELD BARN FARM

The Open Farm Day at Field Barn Farm, went very well again in the beating sun of June in North Dorset. It was extremely well attended as it was previously with many people coming from far and wide to see how the modern farming industry works. Residents and visitors alike were on hand to keep local Beat Officer, PC Dave Mullins, busy all day with queries, questions, fun and games as youngsters wanted to try out dressing up in all the kit whilst the adults wanted crime prevention advice and to know about local issues. It’s great to get out and about to these events and engage with our communities when so many are on hand to say hello or get some reassurances. If you have a planned event, feel free to get in touch to see if we are available to attend?
