Using his incredible nose, Bandit located the suspect hiding under thick undergrowth in a small wooded copse. The suspect was arrested and taken to a local police station.

A great example of how our police dogs help protect victims and support frontline policing. 💙🐾

🐾✨ Police Dog Bandit ✨🐾

As we start the New Year, here’s another reminder that the nose knows. 👃🐕

When a high-risk missing person, wanted for domestic violence offences, made off from an address in Maidenhead, Police Dog Bandit was deployed to search the area.

🐾PD Merlyn🐾

Sometimes a good old bark is enough.

On Thursday night Merlyn and his handler responded to a report of a burglary in progress in Oxford.

Merlyn and his handler located a stolen van tucked away in the supermarket car park.

Crime gangs use these vehicle jammers to steal high performance motor vehicles with keyless technology.

Thanks to Big Merl not one of the males attempted to make a run for it.

They were all transported to the local station for searches and interview.

A further check of the van and a few more barks located another 2 males in balaclavas hiding in the back, in possession of a vehicle signal jammer & a large machete.

All 4 males were arrested for burglary, possession of a weapon, theft of motor vehicle & going equipped to steal

[Hants & TVP Police Dog Section 🐾 @HantsTVPolDogs]

Together the team were able to detain 2 subjects, in their balaclavas, within the front vehicle.

Taking 1 look at Big Merlyn the 2 males decided it was best not to run and complied with his handlers instruction.

Our awesome colleagues from ARV arrived & secured both males.

Pacer can be kennelled outside or brought inside, however, this will be new to him and could take some adjusting.

For more information or if you think you may be able to help please pop us a DM and we will get back to you.

🐾Forever Home🐾

What a fantastic dog Pacer has been during his service. He’s nabbed countless criminals in his all star career, protecting the vulnerable, securing evidence & bringing so many to justice, now it’s time for him to hang up his harness & head into retirement.

[Hants & TVP Police Dog Section 🐾 @HantsTVPolDogs]

Pacer would be able to live with other dogs providing they themselves are not dog aggressive and is able to integrate well off lead, however, can be reactive whilst on lead, therefore he’s typically walked with a ball to prevent barking.

PD Hudson had a busy night shift last night. A male ran off from officers after hitting a victim with a bottle and Hudson tracked him down.
Then 3 masked men were snooping around cars. Hudson tracked them down and detained all three
4 in custody thanks to Hudson and his handler!
