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.

Two more Police Dogs die.

And yet another two Police Dogs die, having been left in an unventilated private vehicle.

This incident, reported to have been at the Metropolitan Police Dog Training Centre, Keston will be seemingly undefendable after a similar incident in Nottinghamshire. Heavily reported, all dog handlers whether Police or not will be aware of the consequences of leaving dogs in cars unattended.

It has been reported that the officer, Sergeant Ian Craven, one of the country's most experienced dog trainers, slashed his wrists when he learnt of their deaths.
