UN-BE-LIEVABLE
WOOD CHIP CHALLENGE. Today I was assisted by Shane who took a piece of wood shaving, wrote his name on it and hid it amongst the millions of wood shavings on the horse walking area. I wasn’t allowed to watch & then brought Ella up to search for it. Special girl.

Today our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mike Newton as his funeral is held in Torquay. The police radio supervisor often joined the OPCC’s engagement team at events promoting call handling as a career. He was a real friend of the office and we will miss him greatly.

Cooper was only 45 seconds into this search when he identified a sophisticated #illegaltobacco concealment in an Essex shop with @EssexTS
A truly amazing search dog.

Fail to Stop :Torrington. A car I was looking for was hidden behind the delivery van. The driver made a bad choice and decided not to stop. I will not put members of the public at risk. I have the registration and had a great view of the driver! Catch up soon!

“I was extremely scared, I thought when I was on the floor I knew he’d already cut me once, I’ll be honest I thought I was going to die. I just thought this is it for me now.”
