RPD Rudi
23/07/2011 – 28/02/2020
Served December 2011 – April 2018
Handler PC Sheather
Rudi worked as a general purpose, firearms support and public order PD, he also specialised in victim recovery but unfortunately he had to retire in 2018 due to health reasons and in July 2018 he moved to his forever home. His new mum says he’s such a character! His new mum wrote the following.
“We miss him terribly! He was such a big part of our lives in the 18 months he was with us.
He was going to be put to sleep as he was on expensive medication and the Met thought (wrongly) that no one would want him. We got him via New Hope Rescue who know someone who worked at the police kennels at Keston.
We picked him up in August 2018 and within months he didn’t need the expensive medication as he wasn’t working and putting strain on his back, he didn’t need it.
We had a great year with him but in September 2019 he started stumbling and being unable to walk without help. After contacting someone that makes wheels for dogs via Rudi’s ex handler, we got the wheels for him for free being an ex police dog and thanks to that we enjoyed our time with him for another six months.
CDRM is such a cruel disease, although not painful he couldn’t walk without help. He hated his wheels and didn’t enjoy going out as much in them. We did our best to make him happy, we loved him very much.
That’s our story, sometimes it just helps writing it all down, to remind me that we tried. If love could’ve saved him, he’d live forever!! ”
He is greatly missed by his forever family and all who knew him.

Handler PC Truelove
His handler wrote the following tribute to him.
I picked him up as a bundle of fluff at 7 1/2 weeks old and our journey began. I was a novice handler so we learnt together. Time flew by and the new pup soon became a licensed police dog and we worked covering South East London for the Met.
Prince loved his role and exceeded any expectation I held of him bringing in bad guy after bad guy, I have kept a folder with every job he had in it.
Prince retired in 2017 and then loved being at home with the family, he was a gentle giant. I am so proud he was my partner, protector and best friend and feel lost without my shadow… until we meet again princey biscuit 
RPD Metpol Papa Misty ‘Leia’
PD Rusty
PD Benson
RPD Karly
Handler PC Chapman
Karly was always a wonderful character from the moment she caught the eye of the lovely kennel staff at the Metropolitan Police Dog Training Establishment. She was a lively puppy and in 2005 we completed our Basic Course. Throughout her brilliant career she was responsible for many arrests, detaining suspects, locating weapons following armed incidents and finding missing people
She excelled in her specialism of Victim Recovery and Blood Detection being responsible for locating bodies and blood. She enjoyed her fame in the last series of Send In The Dogs and loved visiting schools and clubs to meet children.
Karly was awarded a Commendation in 2014 by Cressida Dick for chasing and detaining a male who was wanted for serious offences including armed robbery. The male fought her and despite being injured she held onto him and we arrested him.
Whilst deployed in Machynlleth, Wales, Karly suffered from a torsion and after rushing her to the vets I carried her “lifeless” from the car in tears to be met by a team of Vets in Dolgellau.
The longest night followed as they fought to save her while I sat on the floor next to her throughout the surgery. She beat all the odds to recover and retired to me enjoying over two years of leisurely long walks and playing football with me. She always cheated and stole the ball!
Out of the blue one day she fell ill. I knew it was serious and lay with her in the garden comforting her and telling her how wonderful she was and talking to her about all the crazy stuff we had got up to. Later that day she fell asleep in my arms. I was so honoured to have worked with her and have her in my life.
My friend. My hero.
