Our K9 team are ready to let the four legged members of the Police Service show their skills once again at BikeWise 2019.
On a really sad note…. all the ‘BikeWise team’ and many of you who have attended the shows over the years will hopefully spare a thought on Sunday for PD Kaizer who was handled by PC Ian Squire.
Kaizer was due to retire and join the ‘Paws Up’ club in May of this year when he would have retired from service to share his retirement with Ian & his family.
Sadly, Kaizer died suddenly after a very short illness in February.
Kaizer was a fantastic operational & firearms dog, but was also a bit of a show’man’ when Ian and he did their Batman & Robin act at BikeWise over the years.
Please take a moment to reflect on the bravery of these dogs who are daily dealing with dangerous situations with their handlers
RIP PD Kaizer your duty is done.

PC Ian Squire with PD's Ted and Lottie.
