When your handler has an ‘admin day’ and you feel you’re being ignored…..of course getting onto the Sergeants desk and demanding attention is the only option! P.S….#PDHades got his wish soon after the photo was taken and had an afternoon of agility training. #WhatWeTrainFor

After a stolen vehicle was pursued by @PSOSRoads after a housebreaking, they caught 3 suspects 😁 . #PDNinja then started looking for a 4th one who had "given it legs". Unfortunately for them, she put her nose down, tracked through woodland & located them hiding. Result!👏

#PD Paco got to play this week after some suspected drug dealers made off in a car and crashed it in Inverness. 2 men "gave it legs" but PD Paco led his leash holder straight to them hiding in some bushes near a train line. After Paco "had a chat" they wisely gave up. 👏 👏

Tracing a vulnerable person in Oct'24 @PSOSArgyllBute led to #PDBud & handler receiving @RoyalHumane Society award for their efforts in saving a life. PDs are invaluable at incidents like these & continuously show their worth alongside their handlers. 👏🏻 👏🏻 #WhatWeTrainFor

Say hello to #TPDRocket our newest recruit in Aberdeen. Rocket is an 8 week old Malinois and he's a confident, fun and energetic wee dog. You'll likely see him around the North East being socialised and learning how to be a #PolisDug so say hello if you see him. #PupFest

It was a great chance for #PDOdin and his handler to meet the public in support of the @The_NFRSA in Perth last weekend. Looks like Odin enjoyed the chance to help (or the tasty treats). The NFRSA kindly support many of our dogs and handlers in their retirement.👏 #WorthyCause
