New police dog squad named after England stars

Meet our new World Cup inspired litter! The patriotic pups who will be roaring on their England namesakes at the World Cup this summer.

Our new eight-strong squad have been named after some of the Three Lions stars who are chasing the ulti-mutt dream of becoming champions.

The litter were only born last month but we’re hopeful they will net their own successes in the future by foiling crime and tackling suspects.

They may be of Belgian Malinois breed but there’s no doubt who our latest team will be giving paw-some support to during the tournament.

Introducing - Jude, Nico, Morgan, Rogers, Declan, Saka, Ezri and Jordan.

Inspector Rachel Crump, who heads our police dog unit, said: “It’s always an exciting time when the World Cup is on and we wanted to be a part of the feel-good mood too.

“We want our police dogs to be committed, courageous and to show off their abilities, which is something we all hope the England players will be able to do this summer.

“Our new pups have big reputations to live up to, but we’re confident they will progress to become stars themselves in fighting crime and keeping the public safe.”

It's hoped the dogs will become fully operational within the next 18 months and we will provide fur-ther updates on their progress.

We have one of the largest and most successful police puppy development schemes based from Balsall Common.

We're always keen to hear from people who could assist with the development of our puppies and become a fosterer. For more information visit: https://www.westmidlands.police.uk/police-forces/west-midlands-police/areas/about-us/about-us/dog-unit2/puppy-fostering/
