To whom it may concern,
My name is Nicole BUCKLEY and I am a serving police officer for the Royal Gibraltar Police and have been now for almost 9 years. In March, it will be 4 of those years serving as a Police Dog Handler. I hold my ACPO License (Association of Chief Police Officers) and I am accredited with the NPCC (National Police Cheif’s Council)
I currently handle a 6 year old Czech-line German shepherd who is trained in general purpose services (person search, violent individuals, property search, human tracking, etc…)
I have for some time now taken a personal interest in the line of therapy dogs and AAT (animal assisted therapy) and have since sourced a personal therapy dog and will be training therapy techniques for the benefit of the community, focusing on Special needs, the elderly and any other persons who may benefit from such therapy techniques.
Therapy dogs can also be used in main stream schools do social activities, reading activities such as “reading 4 pets” an initiative I wish to commence which are sessions helping students for public speech, confidence in speaking, reading and expression amongst many other activities.
The end product will be a trained and certified therapy dog at the service of the community. (most to date are voluntary members of the public)
The therapy dog in question is a young female golden Labrador. The dog is yet in training but has been specially selected on qualities pertinent and vital to a therapy dog i.e. disposition, character, tolerance, etc… and above all, SAFETY, EFFICIENCY & CONTROL are guaranteed.
A mere email would not do my therapy dog justice to explain and promote her capabilities and therefore I politely and respectfully request a moment of your time to invite you and request the pleasure of your attendance along with any staff members or persons of your choice who may benefit from or wish to, attend.
The seminar is being held within the John Mac. Hall at 1800hrs on the 27th January 2017.
Please feel free to invite any person(s) you may feel would benefit from or would wish to attend, this seminar. It is free of charge.
My sincerest of thanks in advance.
Nicole Buckley
