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.

Highlighted comment - Tom Benson

Taken from a 'Comment'

I think you should know who was the first ever police dog trainer, he is my uncle Tom Benson, he was called up to the RAF and had trained his dogs he offered them o the RAF but they didn't want them, he then went to the police who not only took the dogs but him aswell. He trained many dogs and men. I am and always will be his proud niece.

(Can anyone supply further details please?)
