Dynamic duo to represent Greater Manchester Police at National Dog Trials

Greater Manchester Police will be represented at the National Police Dog Trials in Scotland  for the first time in over a decade.

Police constable Stuart Oram and Bren will be the only North-west based competitors in the competition starting today, following their qualification in the West Midlands last month.

The duo has been tackling crime in Greater Manchester for GMP for over five years but will temporarily turn their attention to the trials and proudly represent the force.

PC Oram and Bren will be tested over multiple disciplines, including tracking, obedience, control, searching and criminal work.
