Duke and Dexter, have completed their six-week training programme and are now licensed digital detection dogs.
PD Duke and PD Dexter, two highly skilled German Shorthaired Pointers, are the first of their kind in the region.
They bring a cutting-edge capability to the Humberside force, trained specifically to detect concealed digital devices, such as USB drives, mobile phones, SIM cards, and other electronical devices than can serve as critical evidence in criminal investigations.

“Duke and Dexter are soon to be deployed and will be an invaluable asset to the force.
