DORSET Police are calling on residents to get to know their Safer Neighbourhood Teams this Christmas.

Every community in Dorset has a SNT which works with local people and partner organisations to identify and address local concerns.

You can find out more about your Safer Neighbourhood Team and when they hold their meetings by visiting dorset.police.uk.

SNTs are behind day 13 of the Dorset Police interactive advent calendar.

The Daily Echo is supporting the initiative by running stories in the paper and online. View the interactive calendar at dorset.police.uk or follow #dpad ventcalendar on Twitter.
