RPD Bear from Sussex Police was celebrating his 12th birthday today with a long walk, when, on his way back, he located and alerted his owners to a man in dense undergrowth. The man was confused, wet, and cold, and unable to get up. Unbeknownst to RPD Bear, the man was a vulnerable missing person who officers had been searching for without success. The area was dark and very cold, but thanks to RPD Bear, the man received the help he needed from local officers. RPD Bear, you're a true hero, showing us that even in retirement, you can still save lives. Happy Birthday, Bear! 🎂🫶💙🇬🇧🐶

Happy Retirement to PD Fama after six years of loyal service with Northamptonshire Police Dog Unit. Fama, affectionately known as 'Property Queen,' earned her nickname through her incredible ability to sniff out tens of thousands of pounds worth of stolen goods. In addition to this, she played a vital role in detaining numerous criminals and assisting in locating vulnerable individuals in need of support. Thank you for your service, and have a lovely retirement RPD Fama! 💙🐶🇬🇧

The advice includes planning ahead and finding out when your local displays are happening, speaking to your vet for their advice, adjusting your walkies and feeding schedule so you and your dog will be inside before any fireworks begin and finally creating a safe space for your dog with toys and treats.]

Happy 5th Birthday to RPD Marco who served with Durham Constabulary. Marco decided that being a police dog wasn't for him, so he took early retirement at the start of this year. We hope you've had a pawsome day. 🎂🎉💙🐶🇬🇧
