PC 27594 Dowding (Peartree)

I am PC 27594 Dowding and I am the dedicated neighbourhood officer for Peartree, Merryoak and Bitterne Precinct.

I have been employed by Hampshire Constabulary since 2012 first starting in the Bitterne area as a Special Constable. Then a PCSO and finally where I am as a PC in 2017.

I started on the response team in Portsmouth before moving back to NPT in Southampton. I've spent most of my career in the neighbourhood team and I enjoy working together with the community, being a visible presence and problem solving.

When possible I like to be out on push bike as I believe this is the best way to target crime in a residential area and be a visible presence. I do occasionally like to keep my driving skills up to date by working with our response team and responding to incidents in the local area as well.

Since moving to Southampton I have worked closely with our local businesses and I have set up a close network with some of the shops in our most vulnerable areas. I have been part of, or responsible for putting some of our most prolific shoplifters behind bars and I will continue to relentlessly pursue any more that want to cause harm in the local area.

I have worked alongside our enforcement team to deal with drug related harm in our areas and I will continue to engage with our most vulnerable in the community as well.

Where possible I visit our local schools and community hubs to engage with the students and young people.

I attend partnership group meeting and local community meetings to hear what you, the community want us to target and I add this to my priorities.

I will continue to work hard for Peartree and Merryoak in my relentless pursuit of criminals.

PC 29205 Martin (Woolston)

I am PC 29205 Martin and I joined the Peartree and Woolston Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) in December 2022. I am one of two dedicated neighbourhood officers for my team and I cover the Woolston and Weston area.

I enjoy engaging with my local community and working with them to identify issues they feel are having an impact on their area. I am a regular face at our Police and Communities Together (PACT) meetings and I work very closely with our partner agencies to assist in problem solving these issues.

I am passionate about putting victims first and ensuring those responsible for causing harm to my community are dealt with robustly. I want my community to feel safer by delivering exceptional local policing.

You will regularly see me out and about in the area patrolling so please feel free to stop me for a chat. I am keen to hear your concerns about the area in which you live and/or work.
