Meet the Harbour Community on our Harbour Watch / Harbour Day Launch (20th April 2024 10:30am)
In time for the busy summer season, Bridport Harbour are working with Dorset Police and Dorset Councils local Harbour Consultative Groups to Launch the Harbour Watch Scheme.
Harbour Watch is a Dorset Police initiative which aims to improve communication between the harbour community including boat owners, business owners, residents and Dorset Police, to help tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in the area. By reporting any suspicious activity through the Harbour Watch contact form link below, inteligence will be gathered by the dedicated Dorset Marine Policing team and appropriate action can then be taken.
Call 999 in case of any emergency. The form below is for reporting non-emergency incidents.
