The City of London force’s visits are scheduled for two Saturdays in August, and they’ll be active on foot patrols around the pier, Bournemouth Square and the gardens, as part of a shared commitment to keeping Bournemouth safe.

These officers are highly experienced and bring valuable expertise from London.

Bournemouth Police has said: “This is about boosting impact through partnerships. We welcome support that strengthens our shared foot patrol presence.

“The City of London Officers joining us are special constables. Generously volunteering their time, meaning added impact, without added cost. We are proud to have their support.

“Please give them a warm Dorset welcome when you see them on foot patrols.

“Definitely worthy of a selfie, just don’t ask to wear their hat.”
