Winter Exmoor Focus
After a busy summer, we will be renewing our focus on the local community, seeking opportunities and events to give crime reduction advice in relation to rural crime and how to avoid becoming a victim of a fraudster/scammer. We have planned a number of engagements between now and December, including Pop up Police Posts, visits to Talking Cafe, Cutcombe Market and others. All details are advertised on the events section of the website, on village websites and on Dulverton station notice board. We are always looking for opportunities to engage with our communities so please get in touch if you would like us to visit your village.
You can do so via the Avon and Somerset website or by ring 101 and we will get back to you.
If you need to report an incident or a crime – 999 if ongoing/urgent – 101 or via the website if not time critical.

It’s been a busy and productive month for the neighbourhood policing team, with plenty of opportunities to engage with local communities across the area. We attended the final Farmers’ Market of the season at Dulverton, took part in Local Community Network (LCN) meeting and carried out regular foot patrols in the towns of Dulverton, Dunster and Porlock. Its always great to take opportunities to speak with residents, visitors and local businesses, helping us better understand community concerns and offer reassurance.
Looking ahead, we have a series of Pop-Up Police Posts planned for 7 November in Brushford, Brompton Regis and Exford. Further details, including times and locations, can be found on our website. If your village, community group or local event would like a police visit, please get in touch and let us know.
Together, we can continue building strong and connected communities across Exmoor and the surrounding area.

Today we visited Dunster Beach, Dunster Town and Timberscombe for Pop Up Police Posts and to register cycles.
It was great meeting everyone, answering questions and registering some bikes.
