👮 Today, PCSO Karen Gregson hosted a stall outside Tesco and was joined by Annabel, the Hertsmere Borough Council Dog Warden.

Many people stopped to chat with with Karen and Annabel. A number were signed up to Herts Connected which helps residents keep up-to-date with local police news and crime prevention advice. You can join at https://orlo.uk/5qV3w

💬 The stall gave local residents an opportunity to raise any concerns and get crime prevention advice. Issues raised included e-scooters, theft from motor vehicles, cyber crime, rogue traders and how to protect your home from burglary.

Karen explained that tracker tags can be a good idea to help protect your property. These are small electronic devices that attach to personal items so you can find them if they are lost/stolen. The Hertfordshire Police & Crime Commissioner is also running a scheme, using Selecta DNA forensic marking, to protect tradespeople from having their tools stolen. You can find out more at https://orlo.uk/wIyKT

🐶 Annabel talked about her role as the local dog warden where she is responsible for focusing on dog protection, safety, and welfare.

Dog owners were able to get their pet's microchips checked by Annabel to see if they were up-to-date.

📆 Annabel is going to be at Meadow Park tomorrow morning (Thursday) offering more microchip checks. Do go along if you're unsure about your dog's chip!

🛴 During this morning's event, frustration was raised about e-scooters. We encourage you to share your concerns with us so that we can build up a picture of when and where issues are occurring most. This will help us understand where we might need to be targeting resources. Please visit https://orlo.uk/Hr6DY and tell us your thoughts.

Thank you to everybody who stopped by this morning. Please keep an eye on our page and Herts Connected for more events coming up!
