Devon and Cornwall Police’s dog section is running its annual dog trials this week. The trials are used to assess the ability and standards of the Force’s general purpose police dogs. German Shepherds will be marked by an independent assessor throughout the week to be benchmarked against national standards. The dogs, of all ages and all currently operational, will be tested in areas such as obedience, agility, searching and stopping and detaining suspects. Tony Jordan, Force dog training manager said: “The dog trials give us the opportunity to ensure our dogs are meeting the required standards against a national benchmark. “The week-long trial also give the dogs the chance to show off what they are really good at.”
