Day 34 - West Midlands Police dog puppies

Day 34 - West Midlands Police dog puppies

Image by West Midlands Police
Since our last police dog image proved so popular, we thought we would add another!

These German Shepherd pups were born to mother Cassie in October 2011 and all have names beginning with the letter R.

Operational police dogs must have a sound temperament, be bold and courageous - not too aggressive.

They spend a long time training and bonding with their handler.

Chasing and detaining a fleeing person can become a highly-charged situation, so our dogs must be under the handler's control at all times.

Their suitability is also constantly reviewed throughout their working life (usually around eight years).

This image forms part of the West Midlands Police 'Photo of the Day 2012' project.

We will be adding a new photo every day of the year to highlight the breadth of work carried out by police officers and staff across the West Midlands.

I don’t even remember seeing these dogs (this one and the dog in the next photo) that Tracy, a friend working in our Shanghai office, got photos of, but they’re cute little fellows. (photo by CIT's Tracy Liu)
