David John Sidwick

Who is David Sidwick?

I am a fourth generation Dorset resident who has lived here all his life.

In my senior executive career I’ve demonstrated award-winning leadership with strategic skills handling significant budgets and delivering accountability.

My broad skills have been ideal for the PCC role.

What preparation did he do to become Dorset PCC?

Three years of preparation with other PCCs, a tutorial programme and rigorous assessment to prove myself. I spent those three years asking the people of Dorset what they wanted and these became promises forming a golden thread, with a 7 year Police and Crime Plan through Dorset Police’s operational vision to be tough on crime, put victims first and keep people safe.

Why re-elect David Sidwick as your PCC?

My vision is for Dorset to be the safest county in the UK. 

This job is about delivering for you – nothing else. I’m bringing back prevention with robust visible community policing and putting victims and communities first.

The plan is working with Dorset having gone from 10th to 7th safest place in the country. Anti-social behaviour, violent crime (with and without injury), rural crime are all significantly reduced. This is meaningless until everybody feels this everywhere and that challenge is one I will deliver.

This isn’t a job to me – it’s a vocation. I have no desire to be any politician other than Dorset’s PCC. For me it is about nothing more than making the place we all love the safest in the country. This is about Dorset.

The mission is to cut crime and anti-social behaviour and together we will continue to make our police crime fighters again.

Help me do that. Re-elect David Sidwick on May 2nd.
