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.

William Dobb Derbyshire Police

Couldn't resist posting this one.

William DOBB born Eakring Notts 1875. He joined Derbyshire Constabulary in Jan 1900 and was kept on to serve through the war years.

This photo comes from 1902/03 a real piece of history from Derbyshire, although once again nothing to do with Police Dogs other then the genealogy of Don Batterham (dog handler retired), thanks to him for this!
