The Small Ports Unit of Dorset Police are a team
of detective officers dedicated to protecting the national
security of the UK and to
counter the threat from terrorism, espionage and organised major
crime including drugs trafficking, paedophile and child abduction
offences and arms trafficking. We also gather intelligence and
information about all aspects of crime including smuggling and
illegal immigration.
The unit covers the whole of the Dorset coastline, including our
numerous marinas, slipways and inlets. We also have responsibility
for monitoring all General Aviation flights into and out of Dorset
from all of our many airfields. To assist us, the unit regularly
liaises with harbour masters, coastguard and lifeboat staff and the
many communities who live in and around our airfields and
coastline.
