Court dogs are a valued source of support for victims and witnesses 🐾
Lucy the court dog is playing a vital role in the justice system by helping reduce stress and anxiety for victims and witnesses. The Office of Public Prosecutions, Victoria (OPP) Court Dog Program aims to minimise the risk of adverse psychological consequences and reliving trauma in court by providing a calm canine companion to curl up by a person’s side. Chocolate brown Labrador Lucy, aged seven, has been helping people at the Magistrates’, County and Supreme Courts of Victoria since the pilot program took off in 2017. In a recent evaluation, close to 90 per cent of court dog users surveyed said the presence of a dog at their hearing made them feel less overwhelmed and stressed. More than 90 per cent of court workers surveyed agreed the dogs help save court resources and promote access to justice, with better evidence leading to fewer delays and expedited outcomes. “The belly rubs and companionship make what can be a distressing time for people, much more calming,” Lucy’s guardian, OPP Victims Engagement Coordinator Julie Morrison said. Lucy demonstrates court etiquette just like everyone else as she is trained to bow when she enters the courtroom. She wears a special blue jacket to indicate to people that she is working, and staff know that she can’t be petted when she is supporting a court user. But, she is always up for a cuddle with others when her shift is over. Lucy is Australia’s first trained and accredited court dog and both she and colleague, black Labrador Kiki were provided by Assistance Dogs of Australia.
