Celebrating 1,000 Editions of Dispatch

Dispatch the ‘one stop shop’ for local police news is celebrating its 1,000th edition this week.

Delivered each week direct to our subscriber's inbox, Dispatch is full of news about what our teams have been doing to keep your community safe. From arrests and warrants to work we are doing to support the local communities of Essex.

Each edition has crime prevention and fraud advice to help you #StaySafe and details about where our Let's Talk events are taking place so you can pop along and speak to your local officer about concerns you might have.

Don't just take our word for it, below are some of the thoughts from current subscribers.
