@OscarKiloUK A fantastic conference, many amazing speakers and a great networking opportunity. Thank you.

And that’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who joined us at the #OscarKiloConference24. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation about wellbeing in policing both offline and online – make sure to follow our socials to stay tuned for more updates.

The OK Crew are ready for the next two days Walk & Talk, getting those conversations going and breaking down the stigma around Mental Health. It’s also important to support those that support us and this walk is our way of saying ‘THANKYOU’. #OscarKiloNine #Rock2RecoveryUK

sportsgiving.co.uk/sponsor/activi… OK9 Darcy will lead the OK Crew next week on a 2 day Walk & Talk over 24 miles raising awareness for MH, help to generate conversation and share some kindness. Dogs really are amazing.

We developed the National Wellbeing and Trauma Support Dogs network to build on local services, providing national guidance making it easier for forces to introduce dogs as part of their wellbeing provision. @OscarKiloNine #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek orlo.uk/r8n9M

To coincide with #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek next week, we are launching a new 16-minute video highlights the transformative work that we do for members of the Armed Forces and Emergency Services Community. To watch the full video, please visit servicedogsuk.org/two-at-a-time/

@Sas_Herbert Well done Sarah small steps lead to massive achievements . 👏🥰

Sometimes life throws you lemons 🍋.. last year, my colon packed up on me. Some days, the pain is really intense. This weekend, I told myself to think positively despite the pain and I climbed this with my sister and daughter! #positivity #Penyfan

@CISarahJohns @DC_Police @DCPolVolunteers Was great to meet Andy at the CPD day 😀

An absolutely fantastic 2 days at the #OK9 Conference! Lots of great inputs, networking and of course amazing dogs who support our #emergencyservices @bluelightcardfn @policecareuk @OscarKiloUK @DogsTrust #Wellbeing #dogs #together

A lovely surprise to meet @willyoung in Telford this morning. He clearly loves dogs and enjoyed meeting OK9 Darcy and OK9 Evie. It’s great hear how passionate he is about dog welfare. @OscarKiloNine Conference

Fantastic first day at the Ok9 Conference and great to feature as part of @DrJessKMiller presentation of when Jess met Holly, lots or learning and cuddles, now paws up ready for tomorrow @OscarKiloNine @FlintHouseRehab @PCBenOnTheMend @kjahodgson

@MarkOrmrod Absolutely shocking Mark.

Not the best start to my day!!! Had my car broken into last night. They stole a bag full of sweaty gym cloths, another bag with my JiuJitsu Gi in and what’s really inconvenient is they took a set of my prosthetic legs! Despite having 3 cameras pointing at my car I was told by the staff at the hotel that they couldn’t see any activity as the view to my car was blocked by another car (might be time to reposition those cameras 🤔) The sad thing is to think that someone would break into a car parked in a disabled parking space and steal equipment someone needs to live independently and not even care 🦿🦿🦾

@DCPolfed A wonderful person and colleague 😌

Remembering PC Kevin Sparks, of Devon and Cornwall Police, who died on duty on this day in 2008

@madden_jacky @OscarKiloUK Well done Henley and Jacky 🐾😀
