Harlow Council, the Police, Essex Fire and Rescue Services and Essex County Council under the umbrella of the Safer Harlow Partnership will be launching Operation ‘Bang Out of Order’ this week. The annual campaign highlights that whilst the celebrations can be harmless and fun, there is a more sinister side if behaviour goes too far or fireworks are misused

A specialist team of super noses joined police and Harlow Council officers on patrol Friday evening, June 5, in a bid to combat drug abuse among late-night revellers.
Funded by The Safer Harlow Partnership, the joint operation involved police, Harlow Council officers and various agencies alongside four specialist sniffer dogs; Beamish, Toby, Jasper and Alphie. The dogs, who can sniff out 12 different substances, including cocaine, heroin and cannabis, visited a total of ten pubs and clubs across the town sniffing around queues, toilets and seating areas.
