A CONFERENCE focussing on dangerous dogs has been held by West Yorkshire Police.
The event, held yesterday, at Carr Gate, Wakefield, was to raise awareness about dog attacks and the impact upon victims as well as identifying opportunities for promoting responsible dog ownership and improved partnership working.
Speakers included Royal Mail, Guide Dogs UK and the National Health Service.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom, at West Yorkshire Police (pictured) said: “The seminar is important in allowing partner agencies to showcase good practice and share information as to how the changes in legislation in recent years can be used to manage dangerous dogs.”
West Yorkshire Police has introduced the role of a full time dog legislation officer to work with the owners of dogs that come into contact with the police and the wider public.??
