Meet the Future Police Dogs of the United Kingdom

Born in October 2011, these adorable German Shepherd pups are already well on their way to becoming lean, mean, crime fighting machines.  That’s because they’re part of the West Midlands Police dog training program. They will be taught how to follow and track scents, how to search for and locate missing property and people, and how to detain a fleeing suspect – including those with firearms.  

The rigorous training program will eventually lead these puppies to graduate as operational police dogs for the West Midlands Police, a force that takes their dogs seriously. (How seriously? Well, last year their ran a Pup Idol competition to find their next police dog star.)
