An Introduction to Essex Horsewatch

Valerie Crawford - Chairman & County Coordinator - Essex Horsewatch

With the support of Essex Police, Essex Horsewatch was launched in 1993 to make the fight against equine crime more effective. We are a voluntary crime prevention organisation, supported by Essex Police, that offers help and support to victims of equine crime.

Additionally, by using our highly effective network of coordinators, we are able to pass warnings, alerts and details of Essex-based equine crime to our members. Also, as part of a national network, Horsewatch schemes throughout the country are able to share crime information nationwide.

Using the expertise of our Crime Prevention specialists, we also advise on the security of livery yards, tack, trailers and boxes, as well as the various methods of security marking.

There is plenty of information on this site and you can contact me for more details on 07796 473908 or by Email: valerie@essexhorsewatch.org.uk

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".
