Oh my these September skies.
It always takes my breath away how the September skies just do something different colours the way everything reflects the sunset. The Sun rises everything is changing and morphing from summer into autumn warm days and cold days rainy days nips and chills and then muggy and hot. it’s just such a Combination of colours exploding and flowers still holding on given us warm sense that throws back into the mid June summers then just such an abundance of fruit this year so much fruit birds singing and the animals getting ready for the cold nights and their coats changing. It’s just the light for me though it’s just such a beautiful subtle light. Just took my breath away this evening with those September skies.

🐴 ⚠️ MOUNTED RURAL PATROL VOLUNTEERS ⚠️🐴

Do you own a horse? Are you a competent rider on rural terrain? Do you have some spare time and would like to be a Police Volunteer in your community?

We are looking for TWO volunteers to cover the New Forest West area, which includes the Ringwood and Fordingbridge areas.

Mounted Rural Patrol Volunteers go out on horseback between 2-15 hours per week within the rural communities of Hampshire and Isle of Wight.

The purpose of the job is to provide high visibility patrols and engage with rural communities.

Key accountabilities include:

• To ensure duty reports and feedback are completed and returned to Country Watch
• All appropriate safety equipment is worn including all kit and equipment provided by us
• Engage in Continued Professional Development when required
• Ensure relevant information and intelligence is shared with local policing teams and Country Watch

Nominated individuals fall into the category of volunteer and the police have an extended insurance policy to cover volunteers who are assisting the police in their duty. Third party insurance cover would therefore be extended to all nominated individuals. It is advised that individuals have their own personal accident insurance cover in relation to riding horses

You must own a horse or have permission from owner of another horse to undertake mounted rural patrols
