EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a Metropolitan Police van from the 1960s, specifically designed for the transportation of trained police dogs. The image showcases the back doors of the van being opened, offering a glimpse into the interior. A sturdy grille is visible, separating the dogs from the handlers and drivers for their safety and security during transit. The Metropolitan Police, often referred to as the 'Met' or 'Metropolitan Police Service' (MPS), has a long-standing tradition of utilizing canine units to aid in law enforcement. These highly trained dogs, often German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois, are essential partners in various policing operations, including search and rescue, drug detection, and crowd control. The open back doors of the van suggest that the dogs have recently been loaded or unloaded, hinting at the dynamic nature of their work. The grille ensures that the dogs remain contained and secure within the vehicle, while still allowing them to interact with their handlers during transit. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the equipment and methods used by the Metropolitan Police during the 1960s for the transportation of their canine units. It is a testament to the vital role that dogs have played in law enforcement throughout history, and the innovative solutions developed to meet their unique needs.
