Benefits for Police 

• Get information back from appeals regarding dog thefts or dog attacks
• Dog owners are more likely to have seen something that may help the police with burglaries, missing people, etc, because they do a lot of walking during the day and at night.
• Connects the police with residents who might not otherwise join Neighbourhood Watch or follow on social media
