Police dog teams graduate
Nine new police dog teams have graduated from their training.
Auckland senior constable Dave Templeton still relishes his role after 35 years as a dog handler.
Templeton graduated with Costa, the eight dog he has worked.
Five of the seven patrol dog handlers graduated with their first operational dog.
The canine line-up included F litter siblings – sisters Frankie and Fi – along with brother Faze.
Senior Constable Dave Robison, Whakatane, and Sergeant Bruce McLeod, Northland, added to their skillset, graduating with labradors trained to detect drugs, cash and firearms.
Acting assistant commissioner Mike Johnson said dogs are an integral part of policing.
“While our dogs are often the first to go towards danger, their handlers are not far behind because one doesn’t operate without the other.”
