CHIEF CONSTABLE PLEDGES CONTINUED
SUPPORT FOR HORSEWATCH
Essex's Chief Constable, Roger Baker, is
fully committed to ensuring that victims of equine crime receive complete
service from Essex Police. He told the Essex Horsewatch management team
that he was determined that his policy of police attendance at all crime
scenes will be adhered to. "Officers attending crimes are expected to take
full statements at the time" he said. "This will ensure that if we make an
arrest at a later date, we can process the prisoners more efficiently, because
we will have the best possible evidence available".
