With 15yrs on the dog section, it's time to hang up my boots! I've loved (nearly) every minute of it, but a break from nights and a change of scenery is needed. Both dogs are due to retire so now is the right time to go! RPD's Harry and Molly get to put their paws up now x
The male we located in the woods tonight queried why he is being dealt with by 4 female officers, 2 of which are single crewed, and asks where the men are .....
Well, this is all of us! However 3 of us are carrying taser, 1 also has a large dog. I think we'll be fine!👮♀️👮🏼♀️👮🏼♀️👮🏼♀️🐈
