Cutest police line-up you’ll come across
Police line, do not cross – except when it happens to be Sprockers, the first cross-bred springer-cocker spaniels lined up to join West Midlands Police’s crimefighting team.
The pups, the latest addition to the force’s dog-breeding programme, will live with dog walkers until the animals are around a year old. The walkers are vital to the training school and help orientate the dogs, allowing them to experience living in a home, socialising with people and other animals.
In their second year they will go on an eight-week course to develop their search instincts.
