Dorset's chief constable and the county's police and crime commissioner discuss policing the COVID-19 lockdown and the possible long-term consequences for the county. And West Dorset MP Chris Loder speaks about his bid to get restrictions on funeral services relaxed.
Chief Constable James Vaughan and Police and Crime Commissioner Martyn Underhill discuss how Dorset Police have been enforcing the emergency restrictions during the pandemic.
The majority of people fined for breaking the restrictions have been from outside the county.
Both men expect the way Dorset is policed in the future to change when the crisis is over.
Also in this episode, West Dorset MP Chris Loder explains why he is trying to persuade churches and crematoria to relax their strict rules on holding funerals during the emergency. He says grieving families should be allowed to attend services.
