Kent Police revealed in the early hours of this morning (2nd November) how one of their much-loved police dogs executed the perfect ‘take down’ of a suspect who was fleeing from the police by running across a field in the dead of night following a vehicle pursuit.
The video, filmed by the National Police Air Service (NPAS), shows a vehicle attempting to make off from the police before being forced to stop by a text-book tactical manoeuvre that was carried out by Kent’s Road Policing Unit (RPU).
One of the occupants of the fleeing vehicle immediately makes off on foot, before being caught by police officers who were also chasing the male on foot.
NPAS then hones its FLIR camera onto another suspect that can be seen fleeing across an open field as he manages to create some space between himself and the officers who were chasing him.
At this point, a Police Dog or ‘Land Shark’ is let off of its lead by its handler and manages to chase down the suspect within a matter of seconds.
You will find it hard to find such a great example of how various police resources can come together so succinctly in order to apprehend and detain individuals who want to break the law and who do not want to face the consequences of their actions!
If you are in the Job and you have any similar footage that you would like us to share with our readers then get in touch!
Two nights ago a team effort with @kentpolice7oaks, @kentpolicedogs and @NPASredhill when a vehicle failed to stop for area patrols. Stinger was deployed and tactical options used to bring the pursuit to a stop. 2 in custody. LN pic.twitter.com/MSbrZOJS6P

Before you go...
We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
I believe the police dogs should be fitted with speakers which start as soon as the leash is released, the music it could play would be the Jaws theme tune, this would further terrify the running numpty.
So…….wheres the video??????
it should be at the bottom of the article
