RAF POLICE MILITARY WORKING DOG TRIALS 2022 AT RAF HONINGTON

Throughout trials, competitors were tested in a variety of operational scenarios including core skills of agility and obedience, threat perception during day and night patrols, and a dog’s ability to track and trace intruders through wind scent capabilities.

Provost Marshal, Group Captain Foster-Jones said: “Congratulations to all of the competitors that have taken part in this year’s trial. Military Working Dogs provide a pivotal capability that supports the protection and enablement of Air and Space Power. It is humbling to see the passion and drive that each of the competing teams has shown throughout the competition.”

The Military Working Dog Trials represent the core values shared between the Handlers and their Dog companions while inspiring the current and future generations of the RAF to develop their skills in the pursuit of excellence. Military Working Dogs play a vital role in supporting RAF Police Handlers to protect people and fight crime.

Equipped with their sensory superpowers, the dogs are a strength unrivalled by the most advanced modern technology.
