Heroic Police Dog Isla Sniffs Out Dangerous Criminals
Meet PD Isla, the firearms support dog making waves with her fearless work alongside Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers. This four-legged hero tackles some of the county’s most dangerous criminals — and she’s racking up arrests left, right, and centre.
Hammer and Knife Robbery Foiled by Sharp-Nosed Isla
One of Isla’s recent triumphs saw her track down a robbery suspect armed with a claw hammer and carving knife. After a quick sniff on the scene, Isla found the culprit hiding in a bin store a good distance away. Quick action stopped a violent criminal in their tracks.
Organised Crime Suspect Caught in Undergrowth
Another top performance involved Isla tracking a suspect fleeing a vehicle stop by the Tactical Firearms Team. The suspect tried to disappear into thick undergrowth — but Isla’s nose was too good. She located and helped detain the fugitive, bringing a criminal closer to justice.
Seizure of Weapons and Praise for Isla’s Brilliance
- Isla’s partner, PD Casper, also helped seize a large quantity of weapons found in the suspect’s vehicle.
- Isla’s handler said: “She is an exceptional Police Dog who has brought countless offenders to justice and saved numerous lives during her service.”
- “She is a great asset and thoroughly deserves her win of Police Dog of the Year.”
With every mission, PD Isla proves why she’s one of the force’s most valuable assets — a true crime-fighting superstar with the waggiest tail and the sharpest nose.
