Met Police Dog Unit

The Metropolitan Police Dog Unit is a specialized team within London's police force that uses trained dogs to assist in various law enforcement tasks. These highly trained dogs, often German Shepherds, span roles such as searching for drugs, explosives, and evidence, tracking suspects or missing persons, and providing crowd control or protection for officers. The dogs' keen sense of smell and agility make them valuable for safety and security operations. The handlers work closely with the dogs, ensuring effective teamwork to support police investigations and maintain public safety across London.
