'PD Viper over and out' - Police dog ready to enjoy retirement at home after 8 years of service

Police dog Viper has retired from Lancashire Constabulary after eight years of unwavering service protecting Lancashire and the public.

Known as PD Viper, the police dog is now hanging up his call sign and preparing to enjoy life away from duty with his handler at home. His retirement will see Viper swapping his working responsibilities for more time catching balls, chomping Bonios, enjoying afternoon naps and indulging in the occasional puppachino.

Lancashire Constabulary paid tribute to Viper, thanking him for everything he has done during his time with the force. The Dog Unit also said Viper and his fellow canine colleagues would miss his company.

As he begins retirement, the force signed off with a fitting message for the long-serving police dog: “PD Viper, over and out.”

The tribute marked the end of Viper’s eight years of service to Lancashire Constabulary and the public.
