Police Dog Boo and his handler Pc Mark Needham helped launch a brand new Essex Watch scheme at Maldon’s Promenade Park today, meeting loads of new four legged friends.
Dog Watch, an Essex Police scheme which will be launching across the Maldon district, calls on dog walkers to take the lead and help Essex Police whilst out walking their dog, and are looking for volunteers.
The scheme, which was co-ordinated by Essex Watch Liaison Officer Brenda Cross, is working in partnership with Maldon District Council and countywide dog organisations.
Volunteer walkers are asked to call in any suspicious behaviour seen on their routes to Essex Police on 101, as well as reporting any anti-social behaviour or any other nuisance activity to Maldon District Council.
If you are interested in joining Dog Watch, please contact Brenda Cross, Essex Watch Liaison Officer, on 70302@essex.pnn.police.uk
