Dog Lead

Aircraft & Exhibits, Cosford, Hangar Two, 83/U/440

The RAF Police have used dogs in the protection of airfields and military installations since 1945. RAF police dogs are trained in two distinct roles, either patrol and guarding or as specialist search dogs. The dogs have their own RAF service numbers and non-commissioned ranks. This sometimes means that the dog will outrank its handler.
