When a female crashed her car & made off in Kirkcaldy, #PDHalley was called in. Using her nose, she started to track through gardens & buildings. She found the woman, hiding in a block of flats, sat in the communal stairs. #FifeRP then took over & she was arrested; great result!

Not to be outdone by #PDHalley, this time #PDCali got her nose to the ground to find a vulnerable 36 year old male in Dundee. Cali's handler set her to work & after 15 minutes searching found the man asleep in a bush. He was then given the required care. Great job! #TheNoseKnows

#PDSully was amazing today, finding a missing, vulnerable, 79-year-old male who'd been missing for hours in East Lothian. Sully found him in a field & he's now being supported. Great job by the handler & Sully who we took on as a rescue dog from orlo.uk/MAD_RESCUE_UK_… #PawSome

PD Fergie, who ran off when a deer bolted in front of her when she was being walked north of the A831, Polmaily House, near Loch Ness round 10am on Sun 30 June, has been traced safe and well. Thanks to all who shared and responded to our appeal. More: orlo.uk/c8dle

PS Harris took #PDLizzie, along with PC Simpson of Road Policing Scotland, to Rachel House recently, & met the amazing children, families and staff. Looks like Lizzie made quite an impression. Thanks to Children's Hospices Across Scotland for the invitation, Lizzie loved meeting you all. orlo.uk/55CjW

It was #PDRizzo on the nightshift assisting colleagues Police Scotland Greater Glasgow to trace a wanted person....our top tip would be to not be in possession of a weapon, not to run from the police and definitely not to assault anyone! #TeethOfJustice #KeepingPeopleSafe Well done Rizz!

First set of nightshifts for #PDIgor gave top results... Police Scotland Lanarkshire - Drunk driver/ran away - 'caught' ✅ Police Scotland Renfrewshire & Inverclyde - Vehicle pursuit/crashed car/ran away - 'caught' ✅ Police Scotland Argyll & West Dunbartonshire - Vulnerable person - traced ✅ #KeepingPeopleSafe #KeepingCourtsBusy

Say hello to our newest recruit in Dundee. TPD Bella is starting her training as a specialist search dog and working alongside PD Willow. Wish her luck!

Meet #TPDNova, our newest recruit in Edinburgh. Over the next 12 months she'll be trained to become a General Purpose Dog. She's starting by getting used to the sights and sounds of the world, and clearly thinks being a police dog is great fun. Wish her luck! #PupdatesToFollow

If you're thinking of drink driving when #PDBo is on duty....think again! Running from the 🚙, isn't going to end well either! Driver traced by #PDBo, so it was one for the jail Police Scotland Greater Glasgow area in the early hours Sunday morning! 🚔 #KeepingPeopleSafe #KeepingCourtsBusy

#PDStig assisted officers from Police Scotland Forth Valley by locating a male wanted across the UK for violent crimes.. He had been living off grid for 5 years to avoid custody until Stig found is hide out! #HideAndSeekChampion

#PDNova became #RPDNova this week 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A career of crime fighting and helping the vulnerable has come to an end, off to enjoy retirement with her handler and family, well deserved! (Handler not quite retired yet 😤) Here’s some memories put together by #RPDNova handler…. 🥺

When a man in Edinburgh, reportedly attacked someone with a chisel, & made threats with a knife , #PDMilo & his hooman were called in. Milo got his nose working & tracked him down. After a short "chat" with Milo the man gave himself up without a struggle. Result! #TheNoseKnows

Congratulations to #PDCooper and handler for successfully passing their Victim Detection course. Cooper was a kind donation to the police from a loving family who saw great potential in this pup. Hard work and determination pays off. Wish them luck on their new career !

#PDAmber was in action on Sunday night when a man broke in to a Social Club in Dundee. Amber's nose led straight to him trying to hide in a cupboard, (not very original). After a stern "chat" from Amber, he quickly gave up and was arrested by her hooman.

Busy days Police Scotland Greater Glasgow & Police Scotland East Dunbartonshire... TOP TIPS: *️⃣ Possessing knives in public, running & hiding wont work when #PDMary is on duty! *️⃣ Car theft, crashing it, running away, housebreaking & not co-operating when caught wont work either! #KeepingCourtsBusy #TeethOfJustice
