...all current episodes have now completed creening.
Constable Bryan and his "real police dog" puppet puppy Bobby (a distant relative of Sniff of Constable Keith and Sniff fame) are on the job to teach Kiwi kids about the positive Blue Light safety messages.
Bryan & Bobby are working hard to get the word out to primary school children about how to stay safe and how to think beyond themselves so that they can participate positively in their communities.
Produced by Suzy Cato, the emphasis is first and foremost on fun. The appearance of a few celebrity guests in cameo roles (such as 3 News’ Mike McRoberts and netball star Linda Vagana) quietly endorses the positive attitude these role models have towards the programme’s safety messages andBlue Light.
Bobby is a young, enthusiastic, and sometimes cheeky (but never rude) blue heeler puppy who’s desperate to become a Police Dog. He has moved to the city to live with Constable Bryan until he’s old enough to go into Police Dog training.
Bobby adores his mate Constable Bryan and respects his authority, but just like any young pup (or Kiwi kid for that matter!) never misses an opportunity to throw a bit of cheek (and especially bald jokes!) Bryan’s way.
Constable Bryan Ward has been with the police force for ten years. During that time he has been actively involved in supporting charities and his community. In 2000 Bryan and another police officer raised $75,000 for Kidz First Hospital by completing a series of strenuous tasks, including running the often treacherous Desert Road and cycling from Auckland to Taupo.
In 2001 Bryan was named Ambassador for the South Auckland Health Foundation and in 2003 was awarded the honour of a Paul Harris Fellowship by the Otahuhu Rotary Club.
Recently, Bryan (along with Bobby) headed out on the 2006 Variety Bash to spread their good messages to kids in the lower South Island.
As a child Bryan used to watch Constable Keith and Sniff regularly on TV and he is now looking forward to carrying on the valuable work the pair started (alongside Bobby of course).
Bobby’s daily activities (going to the park, going on patrol with Constable Bryan and burying bones in the back garden) provide ample opportunity for the pair to address the issues facing Kiwi kids throughout NZ.
