The latest police recruits working to keep Northern Ireland safe are on duty equipped with an incredible 225 million scent receptors and a flashing blue light on their collar.
Six new police dogs have been trained for search, track and recovery work for the PSNI and will be based at the newly formed dog detection in Maydown, Derry.
The dogs and handlers will respond to calls for service over a wide area of the country, from the ports on the North Coast to Fermanagh and Omagh.
