Out Of Hours Policing

By DomCar | Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 10:10

I was recently surprised to find that Wimborne Police Station closes in time so the officers can go home for their tea at 17.00, which I guess is nice for their families, and they don’t work at all over the weekend. Not very helpful if you find some toe rag has decided to urinate up the side of your car, and rip the aerial off on his way home from the pub on a Saturday night.

Closed

So whom exactly do we phone when it’s out of hours?

999 is the obvious number, but should only be used in emergencies when a crime is actually in progress. For example; if someone is jumping up and down on your head, or they’re trying to set light to your car while you’re in it, you can class things like this as an emergency.

Poole (01202 667766 or 01202 222222) are the numbers to use outside of these hours for minor complaints like the aforementioned urinating on your car and the stealing of your aerial when you wake up to discover it missing the next morning.

Wimborne Police Station Opening Hours are as follows: Mon - Fri: 0900 - 1700 hrs (Closed Saturday & Sunday and closed for lunch between 1300 - 1400hrs)
