THERE is mixed news on the crime front. The police and crime panel heard there’s been a reduction in antisocial behaviour, burglary and vehicle crime. Violence and alcohol related crime are up. Meanwhile some officers will be relocated from Christchurch to Ferndown. In a statement designed not to give much away, Dorset Police say this trial will be used to “determine the best way to meet the current and future operational needs of the county.” Doubtless Christchurch residents and community leaders will be keeping a watchful eye on how this experiment actually pans out.
