It was fantastic to visit the West Midlands Dog Training Unit to meet the team and find out more about the work they, and the dogs, do.
These dogs are trained in property search, including objects as well as people, and can track offenders by following their scent. West Midlands Dog Training Unit are some of the best in the country â they are in demand internationally with 16 dogs being sent to Korea and Singapore!
Training starts when they are just puppies - here you can see Jaffa ready for action.
