A double crewed K9 unit turned up (now there's something I haven't seen in a while) and without even saying anything people at the front of previously confident agressive crowd slunk back to nearest wall.<BR/><BR/>I asked muttley man if the dog recognised the uniform. He said "errrr, No." I stood behind him then.Sergeant Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430687152792475882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514377357336356111.post-8071281901030599442007-06-04T23:42:00.000+01:002007-06-04T23:42:00.000+01:00The sobering effect of a large police dog on a cro...The sobering effect of a large police dog on a crowd is something to behold.<BR/>I recall I was working in Central London and it was a very busy summer Saturday night. We had come across a dispute by an Underground station and my partner had to find the other party who had walked off.<BR/><BR/>My 'customer'was drunk and leary and was with two mates who (to their credit)were trying to calm him down.<BR/>The usual crowd formed as my customer performed.<BR/><BR/>Suddenly everything went very civilised and people started to walk off.<BR/>Was it my presence or crowd management style?<BR/><BR/>I looked behind me and it was a BTP dog handler and his partner who was looking very expectantly at the disappearing crowd.<BR/><BR/>That's at least one up to the hairy land shark!Officer Dibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670970376213846049noreply@blogger.com
