People are starting to see a continued use of police dogs, in public order incidents, without the appropriate personal protective equipment.

 

Police dogs are highly trained to deal with these incidents, but it's irresponsible to be utilising them on the frontline, without stab vests or canine specific first aid kits in police vehicles. 

 

We have a duty to ensure the safety and wellbeing of these heroic dogs, and at present they are being let down.

 

The Thin Blue Paw foundation, is therefore urging the new Home Secretary Yvette Cooper & Policing and Crime Minister Diana Johnson to commit to reviewing personal protective equipment for police dogs across the United Kingdom. 🐶🇬🇧💙

 

My hope is, that this petition will raise awareness, support and more importantly, pressure on the powers that be, to make a change!

 

Please add your signature for the sake of these brave animals, that don't think twice about putting themselves in danger! And share it for others to see!

 

Many thanks for taking the time 🙏
