Together with Tenants

April News

 

Police Dog Visits

Claire from the Police along with her two Police dogs visited several schemes across Darlington throughout April. Claire shared what the dog’s roles are and answered a number of questions from Tenants. The Police dogs are a valuable asset to the Police and without them crimes would not be able to be investigated. Claire explained that her dogs are with 24/7, and she takes them visit schools, community centres etc to share the important work all Police dogs do. The tenants all enjoyed meeting the dogs and of course Claire.
