Payback
Works
Welcome to the interactive
‘Payback Works’ section of the Dorset Police
website – which gives you the chance to see what Community Payback
work has taken place in your community.
This facility allows you to see some of
the work supervised offenders have delivered as part of their court
sentences across Dorset.
The launch coincides with
the completion of Dorset Scouts’ “Arrowhead Mine”, a brand new
tunnelling complex at Buddens Camping and Activity Centre near
Wareham.
This is the biggest
project ever completed by supervised offenders in Dorset, with over
4,000 work-hours completed and more than 100 individual offenders
involved.
In addition to the
information, photos and video packages showing recently completed
projects, this webpage also features an online map pinpointing the
locations so you can see the results of Community Payback in your
neighbourhood.
The ‘Payback Works’
facility even provides the opportunity for you to suggest suitable
work sites for offenders to carry out future Community Payback work
at.
