Sad to inform you that PD Max has gone to sleep for the final time after a short illness. Max was a fantastic specialist search dog who had been with WYP for the last 8 years taking scores of firearms and drugs off the streets. A true character who will be greatly missed by all.

Unfortunately TPD Luther this morning decided to chase a rabbit & met with a barbed wire fence. After being stitched up he’s back home & recovering well. Thanks to all at @YorkshireVets for their help & looking after him. I understand he worked his charms nicely with the nurses!

TPD Zero visited the vets today with a poorly eye. Part of the diagnosis involved putting green dye in the eyes... which duly made its way down the Nasolacrimal ducts and now we have a green nose 😄

One hapless offender went into Leeds last night looking to steal from cars on a residential street. Unfortunately for him it was near PD Diesels house, and he was off duty at home. When Diesel found him the offender decided to run... and the rest, as they say, is history.

It's with immense sadness that we have to tell you of the passing on of RPD Ary who died in his kennel at home overnight. Ary was a loyal and ruthless police dog, but was also a loved family member and has left a large hole in many hearts. We hope you enjoy reflecting with us...
