For first responders

DraftDraft — these words are still waiting for Robin.

Police, fire and EMS: a service dog team at a counter, in a vehicle, at a stop.

What you are asked to do

  • A service dog team stays together in a vehicle and at a counter unless there is a specific safety reason; say the reason.
  • Ask early whether the dog is a service dog and what work it does. Do not separate the team to "check".
  • If the handler is a witness, a victim or a person in crisis, the dog is part of how they are able to speak with you.

Your public counter, checked

The detachment's or station's public counter is a room like any other: we will visit, record the five facts, and publish them.

Book a session

An in-service block, on site, for a shift or a detachment; captioned slides and a one-page card to keep.

Organisations that have signed the note

None has yet. An organisation is named here only once it has signed the society’s data-sharing note and agreed to be named.
