NEW volunteer roles offer a pawsome opportunity for the public to work with Cleveland Police dogs!

Volunteers will have to observe, comment and report on the conditions, in which police dogs are housed, trained and transported.

What You'll Do: 

You will make sure procedures are ethical, humane and transparent. Procedures also need to be in line with the Animal Welfare Act 2006. 

The welfare scheme – part of a national initiative – covers everyone, who interacts with the dog. That includes trainers and handlers. It also covers everywhere police dogs go – including dog units, kennels and police vehicles. 

Inspections will be based on the five Welfare Standards in the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

 

Volunteers will make sure that dogs have: 

  • A suitable environment; 
  • A suitable diet; 
  • The ability to exhibit normal behaviour patterns; 
  • Housing with – or apart from – other animals; 
  • Protection from pain, suffering, injury and disease. 
  •  

Independent Animal Welfare Volunteers will carry out visits in pairs. A dog handler or member of staff from the Dog Support Unit will always accompany them on visits. 

Why You'll Love It: 
Who does'nt like a police dog story, the welfare of our police dogs is paramount and you will be able to check first hand how they are being cared for. 
What We're Looking For: 
We are looking for enthusiastic people who have keen nose for sniffing out areas for improvement and checking on standards.
