Cleveland & Durham RPU
Y39 ERG
Time for another archive photo, this Volvo V70 T5 was a dedicated Dog Response Vehicle for the Traffic division for a few years, after which it was just used as a normal Traffic Car and the lettering was removed.
The idea was that it would be a rapid response dog unit, used by Traffic Officers/Dog Handlers, which could be used to get a dog to a pursuit quicker but the idea was short lived, with it spending most of its time doing Traffic patrols. It is seen here in 2004 outside the Operations Division at Aykley Heads HQ, which was the main base at the time.
