Synopsis
"Absolutely fascinating, not only do you venture into the history of the dog unit within UK police forces, but also some of the individual dogs and their stories." - Love Reading
"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
-----
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.

Paperback. Etat : Fine. Canine Crimebusters delves into the history and heroism of UK police dogs, exploring their evolution, highlighting amazing canines, and celebrating their bond with handlers. This book follows the heroic and touching tales of dogs on the frontline of crime prevention. The first truly recognised police dog section in the UK was out of the Met, based at Imber Court, Esher, and the star dog was PD Rex, handled by PC Arthur Holman. Rex was responsible for 120 arrests, the first drug sniffer dog in the UK, the first to work for the Flying Squad, and won numerous awards before his death from cancer at just seven. He also had a book by Holman about him, and a film made of his career (Police Dog, 1955). His success led to the establishment of the dog section at Keston which is still in operation. He is the star and the root of the story, but from there readers will be taken through the awe-inspiring tales of a series of individual dogs, and their police handlers, right up to today. The book also reveals how they are trained and have been used over the decades, and also highlight the heroic dogs that have foiled terrorists, found killers, and won valour awards in Rexs pawprints. Through thrilling and heartwarming stories, readers will see how these dogs have thwarted terrorists, caught killers, and protected the public, with an appendix guiding readers to the K9 memorial site and relevant organisations for further engagement.
