Closed Require and fund all serving Police Dogs to have adequate protective equipment.

Closed on

UK government to mandate that all police dogs are equipped with appropriate, high-quality protective equipment tailored to their specific roles & environments. We call for dedicated funding to ensure that all police forces can obtain the necessary protective gear without financial constraints.


To ensure their safety and well-being while performing critical duties. Police dogs face significant risks in the line of duty, and without adequate protection, they are vulnerable to injury or harm. By securing dedicated funding and proper equipment, we think this could enhance Police Dogs operational effectiveness and demonstrate commitment to animal welfare. We believe this initiative protects these brave animals and contributes to the overall effectiveness of the police in our communities.
