The Chief Constable of Dorset Police admits another 160 officers are set to lose their jobs in continuing cutbacks.

Martin Baker's written to residents to explain that the force still needs to save another ten million pounds by 2015 - and that could also leave them with ageing equipment and vehicles.

But he insists they've reduced crime by 21 percent so far this year and public confidence is up - and that they remain fully committed to making the county safer.
