These are eight photos of dog and puppy police officers currently working for Lancashire Police. Meet the team.
7. PD Kato
Kato, aged seven, came to Lancashire Police in 2015 from the prison service and works as a ‘general purpose’ dog, which means he gets involved in all aspects of police dog work. Kato has done some amazing work including tracking the suspects in an ATM theft for over three miles, leading his human colleagues straight to them. Photo: Lancashire Constabulary
8. TPD Hulk
Hulk is a nine week old German Shepherd puppy, who has just come to Lancashire Constabulary from Greater Manchester Police. He lives at home with his handler and has just started his police training. If all goes well Hulk should be working as a fully-qualified police dog by the end of this year. Photo: Lancashire Constabulary
