Many police forces, Solihull & Sussex in particular, issue warnings of crimes on social media sites as soon as a crime has taken place.
.
Frequently they make an arrest that day.
.
I'd be obliged if anyone from Dorset plod could give an explanation of why there is this delay in informing the public.

Abiding by 2013 Echo comments policy this is not a criticism of Dorset Police or The Echo but why does it take 15 days for us to be informed about this nutter.

Apparently, cautiousness when driving can be an indication that the driver is drunk. I informed the officer that it can also be an indication that the driver is a law abiding road user...
The Echo comments policy can go out the window, my taxes pay for the police so I will excercise my right to free speach when I desire to criticise the service I receive!
