Sussex Police

We have seized a significant amount of drugs and cash and made three arrests during raids in the Brighton before Pride this weekend.

Here are Lucy and Oscar who retired in 2008 with their handlers. Each Springer spaniel worked in Gatwick Airport searching for drugs and explosives to keep travellers safe for nearly 7 years.
Today, Springers remain the dog of choice for this type of work – they have an excellent sense of smell. When our PDs or police dogs retire, they will either stay in the care of their handlers or be rehomed somewhere suitable.
