PC Michael Greaves has swapped his role in South Yorkshire Police’s firearms unit for a post as a dog handler.
He took up his new position on Wednesday with Police Dog Benson by his side after the 22-month old Dutch Shepherd passed a 13 week course in which the dog was trained to use scent to assist PC Greaves in locating missing people, finding crime scene evidence and tracing suspects.
