Durham Constabulary OK9 Wellbeing and Trauma Dogs

@OscarKiloNine dog Reggie has been out today showing the love and support to our response police Officers in Peterlee for @DurhamPolice who often attend some of the hardest calls #responsepoliceweek

Thank you @SeahamPolice for being so welcoming today. Seeing both the professionalism and dedication of teams in Response and NPT it was clear how much they care for their communities. @DurhamOk9 dog Reggie also enjoyed his visit 🐶

The #OK9 dogs held their own little get together to discuss an increase in their ‘treat’ allowance at the OK9 Conference! Luckily they enjoy the role and there was no bones 🦴 of contention! 💙❤️💙😆👍🐾 @OscarKiloUK @CCJoShiner #Wellbeing #police #firefighters @DogsTrust #dogs

Day one of the OK9 workshop lots of great presentations and fun with the dogs, even the group dog photo seemed to work without too many issues. Looking forward to day 2 🐾🐾 @OscarKiloNine @OscarKiloUK @CambsCops @Northern1770 @LunaOkNine @FlintHouseRehab @PoliceMutual

Our handler has been away for a few days at the annual @OscarKiloNine conference where she will be meeting other handlers and finding out more about how we can develop our scheme, she had better not be meeting too many other dogs 🐕

If you work shifts, good nutrition isn't always priority. A webinar specially designed for #NeighbourhoodPolicingWeek takes place on 25 Jan at 10am and looks at nutrition, managing stress & finding time to eat properly. orlo.uk/register_here_… @CollegeofPolice @PoliceChiefs
