RPD Diesel

RPD Diesel was donated to Police Scotland by his owners in 2012 and was partnered with handler PC Janet Findlay to work as a victim recovery dog.

The pair hit the ground running when they licensed in 2013 and Diesel was the first dog to indicate a find with a bark instead of a passive response.

Janet, from Glasgow, said: “During his three-year service Diesel was deployed throughout Scotland to help with various searches for missing people and suspects.

“He carried out searches in houses, cars and open countryside, including long operations for missing people including a dementia sufferer who was sadly never found and a young man whose body was tragically found in water a few miles away.”
