I have worked as a dog handler for the past 12 years NOT FOR THE POLICE i must add i think it is discusting that people do not put thier dogs 1st i have had my dogs in all sorts of situations and NEVER ever have my dogs been at risk my dogs come 1st apparently according to the kent news he was attending a meeting great they have a venue for a meeting but what about suitable facilities for the dogs , it can take seconds for a dog to die every one needs to be aware that leaving a dog in a vehicle full stop is not acceptable too hot,too cold not enough air WRONG WRONG WRONG and leaving the windows open IS NOT ENOUGH. so sorry for the rant
RIP to those poor babies xxxxx

Those poor dogs. How can someone who works with dogs every day simply forget about them? It's disgusting

a) he should be disciplined, with appropriate penalties for the severity of his misconduct
b) his employer should be taken to task to ensure there is adequate training and sufficient SOPs in place to stop this kind of thing happening ever again.

Just because this is a policeman, and his employer is the police, does not make him or his employers any less culpable. In fact, as public servants, they are even more culpable and the public have a right to demand that action is taken to stop this cruelty.

Isn't that what I said? He will be dealt with by the courts and internally.

I would be interested in how you train people not to do stupid things. This is such a basic error that I don't see how training or any amount of internal system changes can prevent someone from doing something stupid one day.

In this particular case it would appear that had he been prosecuted the first time he may not have been in a position to do it again. Perhaps they should prosecute people for f**king up instead of promoting them!

I've just heard on the radio that two poor Police dogs died yesterday as a result of being shut in a vehicle with no open window/ventilation.

What a terrible thing to happen to two such brave dogs - may you run free at the Rainbow Bridge. Bless you both. R.I.P. xx

His mental status shouldnt come into it. I work in the health profession and at the end of the day there are many of us who battle with depression and manage to function within professions with no issues whatsoever.

It is very sad that his depression is being brought up, even more sad that he has attempted suicide

he must be feeling very tortured at the moment, but one has to ask if this has happened before why oh why was he allowed to care for dogs again?

RIP lovely pups hope youre having fun at the bridge xxxxxx
