The Chief Constable of Derbyshire police has issued public thanks for Kaiser’s work with the force. Kaiser was a serving police dog in Derbyshire for four years before he had to retire early due to a back condition. He then became a much-loved family pet. He has been praised for his outstanding service to Derbyshire police during which time he helped uncover many suspects and helped when trouble flared at football matches. Derbys Dog Section tweeted: “Kaiser was the biggest and most committed Police Dog I’ve worked with – he was also the most vocal as anyone who ever came near him, or his van will tell you! “Throughout his career he found numerous suspects and worked countless football matches. “It’s fair to say that Kaiser was more than happy to take ‘positive action’ to prevent disorder. He is a sadly missed best friend and family member.” Derbyshire police Chief Constable Rachel Swann tweeted in response: “RIP Kaiser. Thank you for your service.”
