The RAF Police annual Military Working Dog competition once again showcased the exceptional skill, professionalism and dedication of RAF Police dog teams, with handlers and their canine partners demonstrating the capabilities that support operations across Defence.
While competition for the coveted 'Top Dog' title attracted plenty of attention, the event was about far more than a single trophy. The final day also provided an opportunity to recognise individual achievements and professional excellence across the Military Working Dog community. In addition to the Top Dog award, several RAF Police dog handlers received further accolades in recognition of their outstanding performance, commitment and expertise.
