The research for our new book ‘Reporting For Duty’ has gone at an astonishing pace and we now have nearly forty recollections from retired officers about different aspects of policing in the West Midlands Police between 1974 and 1999. The book will contain about one hundred images so space will be at a premium but today’s plea is for recollections from dog handlers who served during that period with stories to tell. (pictures are courtesy of a well-known handler on the ‘H’ namely Paul Richards, and feature ‘Max’ and ‘Jake’ who was one of, if not the first Rottweiler taken on by the Force.
