Today, SAPOL’s Dog Operations Unit formally welcomes Police Dogs Nero and Roy to their ranks.

Having successfully completed 14 weeks of intensive training along with their handlers, the pair of German Shepherds will be deployed on Adelaide’s streets starting today.

Dog Operations Senior Sergeant Kurt Newcombe believes Nero and Roy have the perfect disposition for their new calling.

“These dogs are especially robust and resilient. Police Dog Nero is very strong willed, and Police Dog Roy can be a bit pig-headed too!”, says Senior Sergeant Newcombe.

Police Dogs support SAPOL’s General Operations as well as STAR Group in tracking, searching, locating evidence and criminal apprehension.
