Meet Reggie
Breed: Golden Retriever
Barking from: Beckenham , Christchurch
What's up, dog?
Reggie brings joy to our Communicators, Dispatchers, and Team Leaders in Southern Emergency Communications & Dispatch (NZ Police) in Christchurch. His Humum (Sarah Spinks) brings him in for the odd shift - usually when she gets sick of me begging her to do so. Our workplace is pretty fast-paced and stressful: the positive shift in everyone's mood when Reggie comes in is palpable. If someone has had a particularly nasty call or job, it's great for them to have snuggies with Reggie and reset. His positive impact on our team members is immediately evident as soon as he comes in the door.
