From Rex the Alsatian with 120 arrests to Zippy the snippy terrier with a love for sausages, these are the stories of the UK’s most iconic police dogs.

There are few partnerships as remarkable as that of a police dog and handler. Together, they stand as an unshakable team – one built on trust, loyalty, and an unbreakable bond.

These courageous dogs dedicate their lives to protecting the public, tracking down criminals, searching for the lost and vulnerable, and detecting dangerous substances that threaten our safety.

Whether they are trained in general purpose policing, searching for drugs, cash, weapons, or even detecting human remains, each of these incredible animals plays a vital role in keeping our communities safe.

“It’s a fascinating read and celebrates the history of the amazing dogs who have kept us safe for over a century” – The Rt Hon Countess Bathurst, founder of the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals
