Local news for Friday 5 April, 2024

Meet talented youngster, Police Dog Meika, of the London Metropolitan Police's Dog Section. 

A week shy of her second birthday, Springer spaniel Meika is already trained in detection work across several disciplines, including drugs, firearms and cash detection. 

Police Constable Emma Robling explains some of the training and demands on Meika, as well as what a working day looks like. She also gives some context - the Met has its own breeding scheme and lays claim to the UK's biggest urban police dog section, with a dizzying variety of specialist search disciplines. Meika and Emma are part of one of four teams on duty at any given time in London.  

Recorded at Goodwoof, the annual dog event held on the Goodwood Estate, where Meika and Emma were part of an arena display put on by the Metropolitan Police's Dog Section. 

Thanks to Emma for taking a few minutes to talk about Meika's talents and work. 

Thanks to Noni Needs (@nonineedsmedia on IG) for the photo.
