200 Dorset police officers will join thousands of others to march through London today against proposed budget cuts.

Only off-duty officers will be present on the walk as the force is banned from striking by law.

The Dorset Police Federation says the force could lose 300 officers over the next four years because of the cuts

Policing minister Nick Herbert says he has written to officers ahead of today's march.
