A police dog was a star attraction at a careers event.

Shifty visited The College at Braintree on Wednesday for the annual Essex Police Careers Day.

Presentations this year included the force support unit, police search advisors, CID and the dog unit.

PC Gary Lambert and Shifty demonstrated how to trace and find some cash.

Police community support officer Lorraine Keating, of the Braintree Neighbourhood Policing Team, who founded the careers day, said: "This is the fourth year that we have delivered this presentation day to students on the public services course who are considering a police career, which is always extremely well-received."

Dave Tasker, of the college's public services department, said: "We are very grateful to Essex Police for giving up their valuable time and showing potential new recruits the varied and often difficult work that policing the county entails."

About 70 students were involved in the day.
