Dog Section takes to Twitter
Members of the public can now keep track of North Yorkshire Police's canine crime-fighters as the force's Dog Section takes to Twitter.
Dog Handler, PC Scott Nixon, said: "We're using Twitter to help keep people informed of our work and to give them an
insight into the role of the Dog Section.
Our dogs provide invaluable assistance in
a variety of policing situations. They are
also very popular with members of the
public.
"We'll be tweeting about new recruits,
training and ongoing jobs around York and
North Yorkshire. We've had a great response so far with over 600 followers in
the first few days of tweeting."
The force has 35 police dogs from
general purpose to specialist search dogs.
