Mersey Police dog Mo sniffs out stashes

Merseyside Police's Mersey Dogs section was full of praise for four-legged colleague Mo after a particularly productive shift fighting crime.

It tweeted yesterday (September 28): "A busy day for PD Mo. First he helped Matrix Disruption with a house search and found a quantity of drugs hidden in a pillow.

"He followed this up with a search of a particularly untidy car for his ARV (Armed Response Vehicle) colleagues and found a bag of drugs hidden amongst the mess. Good work Mo!"

Police dogs are an integral part of the Merseyside force and their work in the Matrix Disruption team, which is led by a chief inspector and consists of syndicates made up of inspectors, sergeants and constables, is particularly useful.

Each syndicate works with other Matrix units to provide the force with a level-two response to gun crime, faction-based criminality and cash-in-transit robberies.

They are the first response to any major large-scale disorder within the Merseyside force area and officers are specially trained to deal with a variety of disorder situations, ranging from small protests to large-scale crowd disorder.
