It is with great sadness that I announce that RPD 4094 Aztec passed away today aged 11, Az was a huge character and will be missed ,in service he was a Firearms support dog he also sired over 40 pups ”RIP big fella you've done ur duty stand down” gc
Pd Letty walked over the rainbow bridge today, she became very ill very quickly and despite the best efforts from vets it was decided to put her to sleep rather than her suffer, she was so full of life “Stand down girl you’ve done your duty “
We said goodbye to Police Dog 4003 Ska yesterday. His family were by his side when he drifted asleep for the final time following 3 happy years of retirement. He was an awesome Police Dog and served the West Midlands with pride.
PC Barr has hung up his lead for the last time as he & PD Scooby retire together we would like to Thank them for their service & remember all the dogs that have served along side him 🐾
Time for bed for our new baby cocker spaniel litter who are just a few days old. This puppy's got the right idea & has got the best pillow, tucked in with our super mum Poppy 😴🐾

Great arrest of a male who’d stolen a ladies bank card as she used a cash point. Male made off on foot & would’ve made a clean getaway but for PD Bandit who tracked for a distance, across a river & indicated towards a locked compound. Male found inside! Good boy Bandit 👍🏼
We have received reports of a strange golden glow in the sky 🤔 our puppy crime fighters were dispatched to investigate, after enquires and some playtime, they are happy to report that it’s the sun ☀️ enjoy 🐾🐾

PD Savio attends a burglary in Birmingham. As police arrive 4 make off, one caught straight away. Savio then tracks a considerable distance to find two more hiding in gardens, finds the fourth on the way back to the car, and find the stolen property hidden on the route too!
Due to Ted being such a good looking pup, we were inundated with brands wanting him to model their merchandise. From dog leads to dog bows, he was in high demand! Unfortunately we had to turn them all down, as he decided he wanted to be a four legged crime fighter

Carjacking of a van in Coventry. AD72 locates van and car (stolen from burglary) used in offence. Three offenders try to run, PD Mason detains one and second two promptly give up. All arrested. Van and car recovered.

Earlier this week a vehicle used in a number of violent offences was pursued, lost and found abandoned nearby. PD SNOW was deployed, tracking the offenders through woodland, residential streets and alleyways. He located two suspects hiding, vital evidence in their possession😉
Members of public phoned reporting persons breaking into shop/s in Cradley overnight.
The offender attempted to make off from the scene but PD Sear wasn't going to let that happen. One detained after brief chase.
Good lad!
We have received reports of strong gusty winds at the kennels and have dispatched Toy Story pup Woody to investigate 💨 He has carried out his investigations and this appears to be correct 👀🐾
