UK Police Dog history

This blogsite was produced in answer to the numerous requests by other researchers, over the years, to supply further documents, photographs etc that had been used in my research. It also provides a little nostalgia for those individual Officers I trained with and whos' company I enjoyed during my career, retiring in 1996. I have not reproduced all the pages from my book as hopefully this site will encourage further sales of those copies still in the cellar at Scarthin Books.

Death of Police Dogs

A Notts police officer whose dogs died in last month's heatwave is to face legal action and has been suspended by the force.
The German Shepherds died after allegedly being left in the handler's car at Notts Police's headquarters in Arnold on June 30.
An RSPCA spokesperson said: "The RSPCA can confirm that following the deaths of two police dogs in Nottinghamshire on 30 June, legal proceedings will be brought against a Nottinghamshire police officer for causing unnecessary suffering to the two animals."
