Three new dogs join the RGP canine unit

The passing out ceremony for the three new police dogs Flash, Nyx and Gus which commence service with the RGP Dog section today, took place this morning in the New Mole House courtyard in the presence of Commissioner Ian McGrail. 

Their handlers PC Harrison, PC Almeida and PC Rowbottom received certificates of achievement from Mr McGrail after a gruelling 16 week training period, a programme approved by the UK National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC).

Additionally, there is also a week of assessments conducted by an outside force, on this occasion it was a Bedfordshire Police assessor who came over to certify the dogs and the training.

The three dogs then carried out a demonstration of their searching and restraining abilities and displayed a high level of training and discipline, obeying the instructions from their respective handlers at every moment.
