Dorset Police has launched a new summer-long campaign to help reduce demand on their 101 non-emergency number.
The new campaign – Whichever way you choose to contact us, #ItsPersonal, aims to educate residents and visitors to the area about the different ways to contact the police and explain that every contact the force receives about a policing issue is answered by a member of our team, whether it’s online or by phone.
By reassuring anyone who wants to make contact with the police, be that online or over the phone, that their query is being dealt with by a real person, it is hoped more people will choose to use the online contact options and there will be a reduction in the non-emergency call waiting times.
If more people use online contact methods, it leaves the phone lines free for those who might not have access to the internet to contact them.
There are many ways to contact Dorset Police in a non-emergency. Choose the right way for you.
