Over the next week, we’ll be speaking to volunteers from across the force about the vital work they do, the contributions they make, and the reasons they choose to give up their time to make a difference.

We begin by speaking to Community Policing Volunteer (CPV) Tina and her therapy dog, Alfie. Hear about their vital role in attending courts to comfort vulnerable victims, and how Tina and Alfie make a huge difference in the local community at events, schools, hospices and police stations.
CPVs support policing needs in the community, working directly with specialist teams, such as neighbourhood, canine, equine, and security. These volunteers improve community support and help increase police presence throughout Kent.
