There is absolutely no suggestion that there is any increased risk to our county or any specific events. This way of patrolling just gives them a greater flexibility to respond to incidents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring our high-visibility patrols we are also assisted by our council colleagues, including CSAS officers (community safety accreditation scheme). We very much hope that everyone is able to enjoy the festive season \u2013 our officers are here to deal with anyone seeking to cause disruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, anyone acting anti-socially in our communities will be dealt with as we recognise this is closely linked to how safe people feel. We want to give reassurance that our officers are committed to keeping our county safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease approach them if you have any concerns or something doesn\u2019t feel right. Everyone can play their part and look out for each other \u2013 trust your instincts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/assets.knack-eu.com\/assets\/6089b975838c24001b931b31\/65783ae429bf4d0028de9414\/original\/policeb.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u200c<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neighbourhood policing teams, officers from the Operations command \u2013 such as firearms officers and dog handlers with their four-legged colleagues \u2013 as well as other specialist teams will be patrolling&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":71124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bournemouth","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71127,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71123\/revisions\/71127"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.bournemouthone.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
