Latest news from PFCC Roger Hirst - February 26th, 2021
|
Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, is supporting a national survey designed to understand public perception of dog theft, enforcement, and the prosecution of offenders.
He is aware that there are concerns from dog owners across Essex, who are worried about their four-legged friends, following stories that have been circulating on social media and notices that have been placed in popular dog walking areas.
Roger said: “As a dog owner myself I fully appreciate how alarming this can be. Dogs are part of the family and are a source of great love, comfort and companionship. This is particularly relevant now when we are all at home and walking our dogs is the one part of the day that we can look forward to. It’s important that we find out what is really happening in Essex so we respond effectively, allay fears and offer people relevant advice, so they are more confident about what the picture is, what is happening in response and what they can do to be safer.”

Essex PFCC ‘highly commended’ for open and transparent information
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex has received national recognition for providing clear information to the public. It is also transparent about the way it operates and how it scrutinises the work of Essex Police and Essex County Fire and Rescue Service.
Following a recent mystery shopper style assessment of all Police and Crime Commissioner websites carried out by the police governance experts CoPaCC, our website was graded as highly commended.
Roger Hirst, Police, Fire and Commissioner for Essex, said: “Regularly engaging with our communities and being accountable is so important as I represent the public and give them a voice. Ensuring the work we do in regards to policing and fire and rescue services is clear and easy to understand is key to this. We have done a great deal to ensure we are providing useful, relevant and clear information that the public can use, so I’m really pleased that this has been recognised.”
