She was rescued by RSPCA officers in 2017 and housed in West Hatch Animal Centre, Somerset.

And while German shepherds, labradors and spaniels are more common cop dogs, Hampshire and Thames Valley Police specialist search unit has taken her on.

And Roxy and handler PC Camilla Carter completed their training last year.

PC Carter said: “I’m incredibly proud of her for doing such an important job.
